Hood is the reason 3.0 (Thanks for reading)

[franklin]

There are only 13 players in the NBA shooting the kind of volume from three that Hood is. Hood is shooting about the same amount of threes on about the same as Steph Curry this year. He is shooting better than Harden, Covington, Lowry, Gordon, Lillard and many other good three point shooters on big rare high volume company.

He should have a green light to shoot threes. Frankly Hood and Ingles need to shoot more of their open shots even when they have missed a couple in a row or 5 in a row. They are good three point shooters.

You would never tell a player like Lillard or Curry to stop shooting threes in the fourth even if they have gone 0-10 from three in the game. Hood should have a green light regardless.

There is not such thing statistically of hot or cold shooters. Missing or making a few in a row does not change the chances of them making or missing their next shot. They will shoot their percentages.

Its like flipping a coin. Just because you get heads 10 times in a row does not mean you are going to keep getting heads its still a 50/50 chance. Hood is ~40% chance of making his threes regardless of what his last shot did.

Nah. Shooters have on nights and off nights. I don't care if you can't find a way to calculate whether that's true or not. There isn't a way other than the eyeball test, and that test tells me that when Hood goes 1-7, you yank his *** and play a better hand.

Yes you would yank him and you would be wrong. Hood and lots and lots of other shooters start off cold and hit a shot and are "hot." That is what shooters do. If he is a good shooter give him the green light, if he isnt dont. No reason to play head games with a shooter and make him hesitate. Snyder is great at coaching this, when guys are open they are supposed to shoot if they are deemed a reasonable shooter.

I agree he should keep shooting... I just worry that when he is cold he keeps shooting because that is what he is supposed to do and not because he believes he is going to turn it around. He has some bad body language when things go south... happens with a lot of guys. The anxiety stuff with Rod just makes it more believable to me that he struggles with that side of the game more than most.

So with him it might be good to pull him out if it looks real bad. IDK... he's just a tough dude to figure out.

We need this guy. Especially if he wears the shades. I'd also be willing to settle for Porter, Sr.

 

[sonofthebigdog]

Hoods a Chucker. If they go in great if not fast break the other way. The latter has been happening too often this deason.

 

[Douchebag K]

trade him to the Kings. Dave J would happily part with something for him.

The nice thing about drafting an older player like Hood is you usually know what you got by the end of year 4. There is no need to pay a heap load extra for "potential".
Let's take advantage of that fact, and not overpay for potential that isn't there.

We also got a ton of cheap value already... if we flip it for another 1st rounders that’s a great return.

If he is a spot shooter for us, he has to start. He can't run the offense and is an average passer. I think DM is best suited at SG. That's why he needs to play SF as a starter.

Is Hood better than Ingles at starting SF?

NO. He's not better in any way than Ingles. I was mocked last season for stating that Ingles was a better player than Hood. And again in the off season when I said that Hood's starting spot should be up for grabs instead of Ingles'. Simply put Ingles has been a better player than Hood for a season and a half now.

 

[fishonjazz]

Not really. Hood hasn't been inefficient. There are not *****oads of guys who can take seven 3's in a game and shoot 40%.

He said shooting guards who can score 17 points per game. I said that there are lots of shooting guards who can score 17 points a game if given minutes and shots.

No one said anything about how many threes are taken or how efficiently.

 

[gregbroncs]

I say go big....

Hood, Favors, Burks, Udoh and McCree
for
Fournier, Biyombo and Orlando's 2018 first.

F it. Get a good starting SF so Ingles can share PF and 6th man. Draft our PF of the future with the Orlando pick.

We have a good starting SF. His name is Jingling Joe.

I don’t think every player is the same mentally.
I think Jamaal Crawford could go 1-7 and still have the confidence to believe the will make he next one.

I think when hood goes 1-7 he starts to doubt himself.

 

[gregbroncs]

He is a good 3 point spot up shooter and a good 3 point pull up shooter.

I would not say he is good off the dribble inside the three. He is shooting 30% on pull up shots that are not 3s, that is bad.

I like Hood as a starter but as more of a Klay role.

I don't like him as a starter. If you have Gobert in the lineup you need play makers in the lineup. And Hood isn't a play maker. Also Ingles is just plain better than he is.

 

[LoPo]

I love Joe.

I would start Rubio, Mitchell, Fournier, Ingles and Gobert. 3 shooters, a rim vacuum and Rubio.

After about 5 minutes, put Thabo/Jerekbo at PF and move Ingles to SF, Mitchell to PG and either Burks or Fournier at SG. Different threats there too.

I'm not comfortable with the Jazz giving Hood 18-20M and out of curiosity, the peeps that are pro Hood, are you comfortable with it?

A 20M a season guy should do, and be a bit more than just a streaky shooter.

I think Hood has made a small stride in some aspects, like actually getting to the ft line, but he is who he is, and it won't change much.

Some might say, well other teams are overpaying for pure nonsense sometimes. Well, why do we need to follow them? We don't.

15 mil tops i don't think he's worth 20

He isn’t efficient... ts% is below league average. He has some gravity to him though so %s don’t tell the whole story.

I think when hood goes 1-7 he starts to doubt himself.

Hood has started off slow many times and then hit a bunch in a row, so I disagree. More often Hood starts off slow and then picks things up. So he is probably better at that than others. Hood shoots poorly in the first quarter where he shoots 28%. So more often than not he is "shooting poorly" and people say he should be benched and then he starts shooting better after a few shots. He plays the most minutes and gets the most shots off in the 2nd and 3rd quarters and those are his best shooting averages. Hood needs shots and rhythm to get going.

Statistically he is a good shooter so i am fine with his ups and downs that every shooter in the league has. Curry has plenty of off nights and is one of the best shooters ever. He has a bunch of 1-7, 2-10 and so on type games. Then he comes out with a good shooting game. Hood does the same thing.

Shooting from three is going to be inconsistent by nature.

 

[JGolds]

Not really. Hood hasn't been inefficient. There are not *****oads of guys who can take seven 3's in a game and shoot 40%.

You just keep holding on to that three-point percentage with white knuckles. After all it is his only positive start this year.

It seems you’re having a hard time understanding the advanced statistics. Those are numbers that we came by using math. LOL. So let me put this in words since the stats are speaking for themselves.

Hood doesn’t help his team win.

These types have all gotten overpaid the last few years. I know the cap isn’t exploding but there are enough teams with space and many that can create it.
