Interesting Hood stat

[infection]

His current points per 36 is 22.8, which is just shy of Hayward’s career high PP36 of 22.9 that he had last year. His scoring trajectory is thus far much farther along than Gordon Bartlestein, too. Retaining him and Exum are, realistically, our best options this summer, but I’m very curious how he and Mitchell can play off each other (I’m not doubting they can I’m just curious if it can be successful, how successful). One hesitation I have of Hood is that it seems to get him going you’ve gotta feed him and let him create, which I wish fit better with our ball-movement strategy by allowing the game to come to him. The other is I wish he had some solid areas of the game he could develop outside of shooting/scoring. That said, he does have some unique offensive abilities (when his shot is falling). I’m not certain how much versatility he has, and I’d be curious how he’d fare if we ran him at the 3 when Exum and Mitchell are on the floor.

Bottom line: Rubio needs to go to the bench so we can evaluate the Mitchell/Hood tandem (and also so we can win games).

Hood looks much improved in PnR. He sees the corners better. He passed 3 times out of double teams last night that led to open shots. If he continues to improve in that aspect and stays healthy, he would be very valuable for this team around 20M per.

You may be right. But it's worth mentioning that he was this good in the PnR at the end of his second year... then took a big step backward last year.

He is as great in college too... that is not a new development.

Why do we have to compare him to Hayward? We keep doing that... I think they are different players fundamentally.

I like Rodney. The issue is always consistency. I can’t tell if it is just he comes and goes or if it is because of injuries. It seems like he comes in and takes a few games to get going and then has a good run of 5-8 games before spraining something and missing 5-6 games... then the cycle repeats.

If you could tell me we will get 70 games out of him every year and he’s be healthy in most of those games ( not playing on one leg like last year) he’s great and worth a big contract. He fits well because he’s a floor spacer and can be a good secondary ball handler... can create for himself but not as good at creating for others.

DM and him will work really well together... no reason they shouldn’t. I just need to see the guy do it for a decent chunk of time before I can fully believe.

The only reason for the Hayward comparison isn’t him as a player, but just that we lost a lot of offense with Hayward leaving and for Hood to be replacing that scoring production earlier in his career and without being the primary ball handler is a fairly good sign.

Right now he is averaging career highs in FTM & FTA, PPG, FG%, FGM & FGA, 3PM & 3PA and 3P%. Also a career high in TOs, his rebound and assist numbers have come down slightly from his sophomore year.

Hood and Mitchell are fighting to be our leader in PPG.

Hood is at 18.1 PPG and Mitchell is at 17.7 PPG.

yup. The assist numbers are big for me. I'll know he's turned a corner when he (a) finds a way to stay healthy and consistent and (b) brings his assist numbers noticeably above the second half of his sophomore year.

fyi:

Donovan Mitchell TOTAL POINTS: 548
Rodney Hood TOTAL POINTS: 434

Rodney Hood TOTAL POINTS: 434

I full expect Mitchell to win the PPG battle due to this and his PPG being sabotaged by his adjustment to the league in October.

Hood is exciting. There is no reason to believe history will magically stop repeating itself, so I just have to temper my excitement due to the injuries. Maybe lightning strikes and he has a Steph Curry unprobable few years where the glass ankles disappeared.

 

[JAZZGASM]

I've paid very close attention to Hood's shot this year. I've notice when he gathers himself and does not rush his release, his accuracy is amazing. You can almost tell when a shot will go in just based on how he takes the shot. When he rushes his release, he misses a lot of shots. He is tall/long enough and gets high enough that he won't get blocked often, so the need to rush does not exist for the most part.

Hood's destiny is to take Jamal Crawford's throne of being the best scoring 6th man in the NBA.

I think the Jazz basically have to bite the bullet and match w/e offer he gets. The scoring/shooting Hood provides is too valuable to let him go. I wish he would use his skills to set others up more, but the guy has the Mamba Mentality of when he is hot he sees this

(c) gets to the free throw line at least 4.5-5 times a game. He relies on that sweet looking mid-range game way too much.

Sometimes playing on Basketball-Reference stat finder is really fun.

Only two players in NBA history have a 3pt rate of 48% or great, scored 18 or more PPG, attempted 7 or more 3's a game, and shot 42% or greater on those 3pt attempts.

Those 2 guys are Curry and Hood.

Second Curry reference in this thread. Someone needs to make a “Hood rise to being greater that Stephen Curry” thread. Someone also needs to bump the Rudy thread ascending to the greatest Jazz C of all time.

I've given up on that one. Maybe he should be contact-averse?

He has a better chance at being more efficient by shooting more threes... even though he shoots a **** ton of threes already.

Well clearly, if you look at the other stats, Hood is no where close to Curry in anything else, but it's nice to see he can take a high volume of 3's and be efficient. If you can't get to the FT line then you have to shoot and make a lot of 3's.

That’s fine. I just think Hayward always had more potential... a higher ceiling. I don’t like putting Hood and Hayward next to each other and projecting what they become. Hayward always made teammates better and was better at getting to the line and started making more shots. Hood can make more shots but is limited in the other areas imo.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

It seems like Hood often gets injured trying to draw contact and he just ends up stepping on the side of someone's foot. I think that has happened 3 times in the last two years. I think he can get up to 4 FTA per game just off shot fakes in the paint and jumping into contact instead of trying to drive into contact.
