No!! First I think it's a it's somewhat over exaggerated that PG is a superstar. Not sure he's even better then Hayward. Hood, Burks + assets > George. Had Hayward Ben drafted by Indiana and PG by Utah Hayward might have been the allstar.

Serious. George still hasn't fully rebounded from his gruesome injury and has yet to reproduce his allstar season performance. No way he's worth all that right now, especially with the Pacer on the verge of a complete rebuild.

Not so sure that he would be a go to scorer any more than hayward, hood, or burks. I just looked up his numbers (scoring average, free throw attempts, field goal percentage, three point percentage, free throw percentage). Not sure he is much, if any, better than our own wing scorers.

George went head to head with LeBron in the ECF and held his own. I don't put him up there with the likes of Curry, Durant, etc., but he's damn good, and has proven more than anyone on this Jazz team.

We'll see what the Jazz can do offensively in the Playoffs this year. There's that saying, "players are born in the playoffs," (like Paul George) so maybe we can't say quite yet just how good our guys are. Maybe Hayward or Hood will fair just as well as George did. But if I could get my hands on a player who has already proven he can light it up like a 1st option in the post season, I'd do it.
 
From what I've seen from Hood the first three games, I'm pretty excited he's doing what he's doing, and only in his second year. Think he will be better then both Hayward and PG. just have this feeling.

Lol

What?

Where does the Hood over hype come from? He's a good player. But better than Hayward and George?

How many players in the NBA are better than Hayward and Paul George? Maybe 25 better than Hayward and 15 better than George? So Hood is going to be better than that?

Wow. The Hood Koolaide is strong

Didn't say he's better now. Just that he's doing more now then PG and Hayward did to start their second years. Even looking at rookie years, when healthy hood was a big part of the offense, and at times the Jazz ran the offense through hood. Don't think that was the case for Hayward or PG outside one game or two when they got hot.

With all that in mind it's not a stretch to think Hood could move beyond either of the two.

Hood was also 22 as a rookie. Keep that in mind.

Two years ago he averaged 22. Three years ago, 19. Those numbers are for the entirety of the playoffs. 19 games each

Since he came into the league there have been 5 players to put up a 19/7/5 playoff stat-line. LeBron, KD, Westbrook, Griffin and George.

Also only 7 to put up 22/7/3. LeBron, KD, Westbrook, Carmelo, Wade, Griffin, and George.

The notion Burks and Hood aren't worth giving up for Paul George is funny.
 
Alright 10 games in and some tougher offensive opponents:

Tied for 2nd (Spurs) in OPP PPG @ 91.8

9th in OPP FG% @ 42.4%

21st in OPP 3pt % @ 35.8%

6th in BPG @ 6.2

5th in SPG @ 9.4

5th in Defensive efficiency

10th in allowed offensive rebounds per game @ 9.7
