lololol
 
While I don't like the way in which the OP made his argument, I don't think that it's far fetched to believe that Hood could reach Hayward's level in terms of offensive production. I think Hood is gonna be turning a few heads earlier than we think. Plus I like his overall attitude better, although Hayward has matured a bit as of late.
 
I like Hood but I don't think he would establish himself into a good player like Hayward did. Remember when Gordon was given a chance to play big minutes during his rookie season (wasn't it the last game?) He tore it up with 30+ points.
 
Hayward is by far the better player.

But who knows, maybe Hood will be better one day.

This is going to hard for you Hayward lovers to stomach. But, all things being equal Hood has a higher upside especially for this being his first year. I know that all of you think that Haywood or Hood are SG. Well, they are not they are SF. Burks, and Milsap are our SG. I know that the Hayward fans are always super impressed with the whole point forward garbage. Well, Joe Ingles and Hood look to have just as much of an ability to play the point forward position. Well, I know that this is going to throw you guys into a tissy fit because the one untouchable player on this team is Gordumb Hayward.

No hissy fit, I just feel sorry for you and your misguided sense of hoops reality.
 
Since the All-Star Break Hayward is playing as bad, as he played last season. The defense of this team is just so freaking good, that they can compromise it... Its hard to call Hayward the best player on this team, if the team is winning despite his lack of production.
 
IF Hood BECOMES better than Hayward, Fantastic. When Hayward's deal is up, we can move the money from Hayward to Hood and move on from Hayward.

Reality is, we can only carry three max guys at once. That means if everyone pans out, we will lose two of Favors, Gobert, Exum, Hayward and Hood (in this situation where Hood is better than Hayward.
 
If he's better than Hayward that's fantastic...since Hayward is a borderline all star player right now.

I think he has the potential to be like a Ray Allen, though I'd be shocked if he has as good a career.
 
If Hood didn't play in the Shadow of Jabari Parker, he would have been a more notable college player and a higher pick.
 
You make very good points OP. You are uniquely intelligent. A truly inspiring thinker. A king among peasants really. I do hope you post more.

Well, you also have to look at what happened at the break. Jazz traded away the only other shooter on the team. Gobert, Exum and Ingles were completely ignored. All teams had to do to defend Utah was pack it in against Favors and make sure defenders were always on either side of where Hayward was. Charlotte employed the same strategy and FINALLY Utah's guards hit some 3's.

Frankly, I don't see where he's struggling, though. He averaged 44%/37% in February and is shooting 48%/41% in March. If that is playing BAD, I hope he is just AWFUL for the rest of the season.

EDIT: yes, i do see a stretch where he wasn't hitting his 3's. But he still had a pretty good overall %. And that's why they call it an "average." He struggled for a few games from the 3PT line and lately he's been on fire.
