5 years? He is already their best player and should have been an all-star if Kobe wasn't voted in.

Yep. There isn't a good enough defender in the league to overcome those shooting numbers.
RPM stats are based on: (1) strength of your teams' players on the floor with you; (2) strength of other team's players on the floor with you; and (3) point differential of your team versus other team while player is on the floor.
How your team performs while you are on the bench does not have an effect.
Rubio has been elite DRPM even when Lavine was at UCLA.

Lol, but u love tooting your own horn
It's games like this when the Jazz win and look good doing it that gets me so excited for the future. Can't wait for the return 2 for Burks. I feel that with the emergence of Hood our core is set. Hood ,Hayward, Favors, and Burks are all capable of taking over games. When Exum develops, and I believe he will, wow!! Also, add in Gobert's Elite defense and rim protection this team as constituted is going to be scary good. I'm hoping we can also add an upgrade or two on the bench as well.

But will Hood revert to his earlier level of play when Burks returns? Hood emerged last year when Burks was hurt, leading us to believe our wing problem was solved. But even though Hood started over Burks, he sucked for the first two months of this season. It wasn't until January, when Burks was out, that Hood's game picked up where he left it at the end of last season.
My worry is that Hood may be deferring to the "senior" man at his position in order to avoid conflict and it's impacting his court play. I hope I am wrong.

I think u are wrong.
Hood was injured and didn't play much in the first half last year, and key point is he was a rookie. He was mostly healthy after the allstar break and got better with the extra minutes.
Hood took plenty of shots to start this year, didn't seem to hold back on offense, his bad play can be explained as he was in a long and bad shooting slump.

That was a good game to watch. Wolves and jazz are so similar with youth and talent. KAT could be the Jazz nemesis for years to come. Fortunately jazz have potential to d up these great young bigs in nba. I was impressed by gorgi dieng (sp). He's pretty good. For jazz and wolves it will come down to system and coaching. Wolves are not doing small ball either...

Another note: wolves has some good tenacious d in first half and I felt they were better d in first half. The jazz clamped down in 2nd half. However, I didn't see just brute force effort from the jazz in the 2nd half. And harping commented on the adjustments. Can someone explain the adjustments and what accounted for the stark diff in 2nd half?

Didn't was really pissing me off all game. Was giving Gobert fits he even mad a corner three, he was already getting on my nerves then hit the three. I thought to myself, "he can do that too!!" He's turning into a nice player.
Yeah, but it shows 20 year old centers being really bad, so Towns would be an extreme outlier being this advance.
