Jerebko - Been waiting for his contribution

I actually feel Hoods defense is better than most give him credit for. The problem with Hood is that he is a streak shooter and will be until proven otherwise.

As far as Jerebko I think he has a role on this team. He may have some DNP's but he'll also have those 5 minute stretches where he can bring the energy/attitude and maybe score a quick 5-6 points.

Hood needs a go-to that produces at a really high rate, like JJ has that slow back-down move followed by the push shot or the mid-range fall-away. It just works and gets him something when everything else seems off. Hood needs something like that. It used to be that little drift shot at the free-throw line, but that seems to have left him somewhat or they are scouting it better. But all in all Hood is performing well so far, aside from a couple of bad games. Will be interesting to see how this season progresses.
 
I'd rather Jerebko not get any DNP's. I think he should be a rotation player. The fact that he displayed vocal leadership on the defensive end last night despite it being his first real game as a Jazz man was huge to me. He was directing his teammates to the right spots. You also have a PF who can hustle, play defense and hit the 3. I don't know why it's a good idea to ever sit someone like that.
 
How many of you guys watched Jerebko when he played for Detroit? Dude was a stud and a fan favorite.
Getting him and Udoh were brilliant moves.

So you want Joe Johnson to get DNP's?



You're not playing 3 PFs in a normal game.

Johnson isn't playing SF anymore.
 
Trouble is with Hood is that he does't contribute anything when he's not hitting his shots. Guys like Ingles and Sefolosha contribute in many ways.
Scoring does matter though

No, but i would like to see hm playing 15-18 min a game instead of 25+. JJ is older and we need to manage his minutes. Keep him as fresh as possible for the PO. He's already injured...

Don't forget Thabo. At one point he was a DPOY worthy wing, I think only Tony Allen was slightly better then him.
 
I think it will be clear by the time JJ returns whether Jerebko should be taking some of his time or not. I suspect he'll end up earning a little time going forward.

Or whether we should roll with JJ and Jerebko at the four and move favors. Backup center is Udoh... play the JJs at 4 or even Thabo some.
