mevsMJ.com: Me vs Rodney Hood

I don't think it's fair to Trey to characterize him this way. He's been nothing but professional in the way he handled being demoted to bench scorer role. There is plenty he can be criticized about, but his attitude this year isn't one of them.

It's hard to argue with this. As states, I have to agree, Burke was a consummate professional this past season. You really can't ask for more than that.

While I did support him throughout the year, I will agree that he is the weakest link of the crew and if his shooting does not get better this coming season, he doesn't deserve a spot on the team.
 
I love that we somehow got Rodney on our team. It frustrates me when I hear people so readily willing to include Hood in their mock efforts to trade up in the draft.

When we get a player of this character and talent and who fits in so well with our team, we hang onto guys like this. He is going to be a key factor in Jazz success in the future and I hope for a long time after an extension.

Sad this dude doesn't realize MJ is a giant *** and will never play him 1-on-1.

MJ may do it if the time comes that he believes it will be beneficial to him, but there is little doubt that the writer will have met much better people along the way and that Hood is one of them. In many ways his project is already a success, and I think he knows it.

This. If RH were in this draft, knowing what we know now, where would he get picked? I'd say top 10, maybe as high as 5 or as low as 15. And with the Jazz need for shooting (and the relative value of shooters at an all-time high -- see Booker) no way he gets traded to move up. The knock on his defense has been addressed.

top 10, easy. Could be as early as 4-5.

Agree a million percent. Same goes for Favors.

Can't say that he'll NEVER be traded, but DL has said on a few occasions he envisions Hood being a long-term member of the team. That was pretty impressive for a GM to say that about a rookie. We've found our Manu Ginobili to come off the bench (assuming Burks starts). Hood is still going to get 25-30 mins and will shot 40%+ on his 3's.
 
Hood is better as a starter and Burks is better as a 6th man. I've already made up my mind that that's what will be happening this season to the point that I'll be somehow surprised that I'm wrong.

Can't argue with that. Hood really complements the starting group because they need perimeter shooting. Burks can be effective running the offense when Gordon sits. Of course, the drawback is that Trey will never let Burks have the ball.
