All Good in the HOOD *Highlights*

[VINYLONE]

That drive and the spin into a fadeaway @ 0:33 is some elite stuff.

Hayward just chillin' in the corner Exum style @ 0:52 for a solid 10 seconds. Normally always curls up to Gobert in that situation. The guy is spent. I'm assuming Snyder also told him to lay low and have the youngsters initiate more of the offense.

Yeah, man. That spin-to-fade was absolutely out of this world. A beautiful ****ing move.

And we still have people saying Dennis Lindsey "hasn't proven anything yet." He's Acquired Trey Burke, Rudy Gobert, Dante Exum and Rodney MFin Hood Via draft. As much as people here hate Trey he is still a valuable bench player, and Dante Exum is starting to grow as of late.

He also hired Quin "Americsn Psycho" Snyder as our head coach.

I think in three years we're going to see a team that is tough as nails with the majority of the team built off of draft picks acquired by Dennis Lindsey. Rome wasn't built overnight.

I also believe that when this team is established we will have a 60 win season and have instilled fear into teams like no other. I am very optimistic about Hood. I think he can become a quality guard much like Richard Hamilton was. He may be the next superstar for all we know.

I was trying today to come up with a comp for him and this seems as good as any. Rip had limited athleticism but was able to use what he's got to become a very efficient scorer.


Couple of things to note too, Hood looks to be a much better 3 point shooter already at his young age. Another thing is Hood is much better ball handler / playmaker which makes him much more of a threat.


I mean, imagine Rip with a 3 point shot, and can also make plays. Wow.

Not flashy but effective.

Thanks for this video. That play @ 2:00 shows just how insanely genius-bat****crazy Quin is. Posting in that thread now.

Just to change the subject, doesn't Fav's 15 footer look automatic?

It's awesome to see him nail those with confidence.
He doesn't even think about it, sees he has space, shoots it, scores.

Reminds me of another former Jazz player. Can't remember his name, but he used to be quite adept with a good mid-range jimmy. Malcolm, Maynard, Stallone.... Ahh, slips my mind.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Plays like a veteran (and dare I say it... star?). His mid-range game, vision, and feel for the game are very impressive at any experience level, but the fact that he's a rookie is truly mind-blowing.

It's going to be hilarious to me if we end up with the better player from Duke in that draft.
