-ESPN college basketball analyst, Jay Bilas, commented on Lazar's NBA potential: "Lazar is a good prospect...I think he's got a chance to be a contributor on a team. I don't see him as a starter, but I think he would be a solid guy coming off your bench and he'd give you some quality minutes."+//ESPN// college basketball analyst, Jay Bilas, commented on Lazar's NBA potential:\\

 +One general manager who attended the Minnesota workouts talked about Lazar to //ESPN//'s Andy Katz:\\ 
 +//"He was one of the three best basketball players who participated in the workout...He knows how to play. He's not sexy. But he knows who he is. If you put him on a playoff team that is picking in the 20s, you could plug him in the rotation...If you talk to coaches in the Big East, they'll tell you that he does everything for your team, playing the two, the three or the four...He makes good decisions, boxes out and sets screens. He's perfect to play alongside big-time guys on the floor.''//

 Lazar was selected with the 30th pick of the First Round of the 2010 NBA Draft by the Washington Wizards. But on draft day, the Minnesota Timberwolves acquired the draft rights to Lazar and Serbian forward Nemanja Bjelica, the 35th overall pick, from the Wizards in exchange for the draft rights to Clemson forward Trevor Booker, the 23rd overall pick, and Hamady N'diaye, the 56th overall pick. Lazar was selected with the 30th pick of the First Round of the 2010 NBA Draft by the Washington Wizards.

 +
 +//The Sporting News//'s Mike DeCourcy had this to say about after the Wizards drafted Lazar:\\
 +//"The Wizards ended the first round the way they began it: with a terrific pick of a high-character winner. Hayward is a dicey proposition from a position standpoint. He was a power forward throughout his college career, but he can shoot, plays aggressively and finds a way to make an impact."//
 +
 +His guaranteed contract as a first round pick means that he will join Travis Diener (2005), Steve Novak (2006) and Wesley Matthews (2009) as the 4th player since 2005 to play all four years at Marquette and then go straight to the NBA. In an era of one-and-dones, Marquette is the only school that can make that claim.
 +
 +Also, he is the most recent first-rounder from Marquette since Dwyane Wade (5th, 2003).
