Pretty good write up on Rodney Hood

Hood is well ahead of schedule.

He did a lot of boneheaded late game stuff in November and appears to have made substantial month-over-month growth. Good reason to hope he'll peak earlier than average and coincide with our other guys.

Thats one of the reasons he fell to #23..

He'll be turning 26 months after the summer his rookie deal runs out, so they can keep him here til he's 30 on just 2 contracts.


His #'s would really be catching eyes if he didn't start out so cold from 3 this season too.
 
In the off season a bunch of you numb-skulls were pissing yourselves about Gobert's reported 15 foot jumper. I told y'all I didn't care cuz I would rather he put pressure on the rim, dragged a defender under the basket, and opened that shot up for our wings. Some of you freaked out and swore that I didn't understand bball. Go read that article
 
Only part I dont like so far is the first few paragraphs it says Hood was a "versatile defender". Wasn't he known as a crap defender coming out of college? I mean, a lot of that was probably playing PF while Parker played center, but it's not like he was lauded for his defensive potential.

You answered your own question. A guy that can guard 2-4 in college is a versatile defender. The author didn't say he was a lock down defender or superb defender just a versatile one.

Ya having a guy like Gobert that stays around the rim is a different way of spreading the floor. It opens up shots from the outside... Much like a beal, korver, etc opens up shots on the inside
 
So some of you bash Buddy Hield because of his age but Hood was a steal in the draft even though he was older also? whats sense does this make really?
