Burks or Hood?

[Ellipse]

Which only works because Draymond Green is one of a kind, and can guard like 90% of players that he switches onto. He is also incredibly unselfish.


Can Alec Burks defend even the mediocre PGs of the league? THAT is the issue at hand here. Does he ever routinely pass up a good shot for a great shot?

If Exum was playing this year, then I would agree with your point. However, the question you should have asked is, "Can Alec Burks defend PGs better than Trey Burke?" As for passing, I see no difference between Burks and Burke. But it is a new season and, after the huge improvement Hayward made last year, I have hope even for Burke.

actually I don't think the jazz have a ball hog on their team. That is where your and I disagree the most.
Lol
You can't look at attempts per game when one player averages allot more minutes than the other. That would be silly.
You have to look at attempts per minute played obviously

Trey Burke is undeniably a ball hog. Burks certainly gets a little too frenzied at times but he's definitely not a ball hog.

I'd go with Hood at the moment, if he plays like he did at the end of last season, better decision making. New season though so we'll see how they all play !

Watch burks highlight video from last season and you will see him do this many many times.

According to you if you have a player touch the ball 100 times in the game and only takes two shots but they are long contested twos early in the shotclock then they are a ball hog

Lol, please show where I said that.

Lol
Cause according to you amount of shots doesn't matter it's the type of shot that makes you a ball hog

 

[fishonjazz]

Hood and it's not even close.

Burks belongs on the bench with Trey, so they can share time being ballhogs with each other.

That ball hog Burks took the least amount of shots tonight of any of the starters and was second in assists.
Damn ball hog

Tied for 3rd in assist.

You missed the part of my post that said starters apparently

Hood must be bummed that he laid an egg. Maybe he'll go red hot in the next game.

Burks pretty much laid an egg too.

And we still buried the Lakers by 19.

What I liked was that they didn't have just the PG bring it up. Almost anyone at the 1-3 brought it up, whoever got the ball first. I wonder how many possessions per game that adds up to? 3? 4?

I love that they are doing that.
I hate having designated inbounders after made shots and I hate having someone designated to bring the ball up.
Whoever is closest is the way to go

Dude, I honestly question your reading comprehension.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

The positive of Burks starting is that he does push the pace. He is a better transition player than Hood.

Negatives are Burks cant attack as much or handle the ball as much and Hood is forced into doing too much with an offensively challenged bench.

Still think Hood would play better with the starters and Burks better with the bench.

 

[Diamond77]

I would start Hood over Burks. The Jazz need Burks offense coming off the bench.

 

[fishonjazz]

I don't question your feistiness

 

[Handlogten's Heros]

I think Hood is better suited to come off the bench because I think he actually is able to create shots better one on one and in the pick and roll. I think we need that coming off the bench. He can get his shots when he needs too.

If we had to choose and we are assuming both would be healthy then I'd likely choose Hood... I love me some Burks doe, so let's just keep em both and not worry about it.

 

[seattlejazzfan]

One advantage Hood has on Burks in terms of scoring and shot creation is that he can pull up, both from distance and mid range, much more effectively than Burks. Burks has the advantage getting to the rim, but just as a pure shot creator, Hood may have a slight edge. If the goal is to have a scoring wing off bench, I lean Hood.

 

[Doublea]

If Neto ends up starting, I would have Hood start with him. We would need his shooting to make up for Neto. I think Burks would do better being the focus of offense off the bench than Hood.

I'll be happy with which ever Snyder decides though, I trust his instincts.

 

[Lakers_Slapper]

Do we care who's better? They're both great and they're both playing on the Jazz. Who cares who's better? I care that they both see playing time and that they both make the most out of the minutes they see on the floor. Why debate. We're building much needed depth to the roster.
