Miles got infinitely better the moment he left the Jazz. Makes you think the Jazz were the problem and never actually used him correctly.

I used to think that Hood was better equipped than Hayward to make the jump from role player to go-to guy, because Hood seems to have a better shooting touch. But Hayward clearly worked so hard on his game and his body during the offseason that he was able to make that jump (although his athleticism is somewhat lacking still). Hood, on the other hand, seemed to be basically the same player but now has been plagued by injuries. That is certainly not a good sign coming from a still-young player and it is somewhat worrisome.

Regarding the comparison in question, both Hood and Miles are offensive players that rely heavily on shooting rather than driving or posting up. So, in that regard, is not a completelly nonsensical comparison. That being said, Miles was a lot less effective while playing for the Jazz. He started at the age of 18, but even if we take into account only his last three seasons as a Jazz player, when he was 22, 23 and 24 - which are Hood's ages while playing for the Jazz - Miles is not on par with Hood. Let's see:

Miles (22 years old): 19.2 FGA/100 possessions (13.5 FGA/36 minutes); .515 true shooting; .341 3P%.
Hood (22 years old: 18.7 FGA/100 possessions (12.7 FGA/36 minutes); .529 true shooting; .365 3P%.

Miles (23 years old): 24.1 FGA/100 possessions (16.4 FGA/36 minutes); .507 true shooting; .322 3P%.
Hood (23 years old): 20.2 FGA/100 possessions (13.8 FGA/36 minutes); .542 true shooting; .359 3P%.

Miles (24 years old): 21.3 FGA/100 possessions (14.6 FGA/36 minutes); .484 true shooting; .307 3P%.
Hood (24 years old): 22.2 FGA/100 possessions (15.2 FGA/36 minutes); .528 true shooting; .365 3P%.

So, even though Miles was really really really really really — and I can't stress this enough — inefficient as a shooter, he dared to shoot a lot. He shot so much that in two of the three seasons he shot more often than Hood, who shoots a lot.

One may argue that Miles, despite his absolutelly atrocious true shooting percentages, had value for his three point shot, but even that is inaccurate, since his three point percentages were awfull too.

In conclusion, the similiarities is that both are shooters and not slashers or post players. Also, both had a high usage rate for role players, but Miles in general dared to shoot more often and with disastrous results, while Hood has been able to maintain a fair level of shooting efficiency.

I rest my case.

Hayward's athleticism is not somewhat lacking

I want you all to know I might have been one of the biggest CJ homers there was. I thought the guy was always one game away from breaking into something incredible. and for the last couple of years, you all, my comrades have said and felt similarly to Hood. however, its just not there. he will, just like CJ have a good career, play a lot of good basketball. he will never have a break out year, he will never get consistent and his D will always be disappointing.
Comrades, I have no intention of swaying your love for them player. we are jazz fanz, we should love our team. however, i offer voice of warning.




and a few more videos.

Why you take your foot out your mouth? To stick it deeper up your *** for a nother taste?
 
So many posters said Hayward was not worth mini-max an would not develop. Hood may not match that leap but making that jump over the Deleware River Crossing is coming my friends.
 
Catch n Jack Smiles?

I remember when he scored 41 and everyone on JF laughed at him. Hood is a bad man. He's just been going through a lot of abuse this year.
 
when Hood was drafted, i figured him to be a nice shooter off the bench. he has surpassed that expectation for me, and since i wasn't expecting any more than that, i can't really be disappointed. he's pretty good, he's better than CJ was, and i'm glad he's on the team.

understand that i am a pretty avid Burks fan, though i am starting to doubt the fulfillment of that. Hood -in my mind- was a threat to Burks's staring spot, and it worried me, but now with the injuries practically hitting the reset button on Burks's career, who knows what will happen.
 
I`ve gone on the record before saying that we should explore what we could get for Rodney in a trade in the summer. It really worries me that he does have way too many games where he just does not show up and that he doess not seem to really have progressed over these past three years. Chances are that some team will throw the max at him next summer, and I would hate for that to be us if he does not step up his game by quite a bit.
 
Ive seen plenty of growth in Hood this year... Shot selection, passing and defense have all improved. He's even driven hard at times for a few THUNDEROUS dunks!

The only thing Ive seen from Hood during his career that I haven't liked was how he played in the 2nd half against the Lakers after putting up 30 in the first half. I wasn't impressed how timid he became, never looked for the ball and should have TORCHED them!

You do know that nearly every advanced stat, from ts%, ftr, win share rate, vorp, per, etc have ALL regressed from last year right? Just because he dunked it once or twice doesn't mean he's improved.
