New Burks Injury

Nah son, unlike CB* Alec actually has a place on an NBA court. WTS, I've known and said for years now that this guy will be injury prone and eventually Brandon Roy himself out of the league.




*CB was quite possibly the worst draft pick in Jazz history. I can't think of another even close.

Trey Burke. In both instances the Jazz had to trade up to draft them.

Hood played 79 games last year. I am not overly worried about him being injury prone. Burks might be a legit concern. Either way another wing is needed.

I think Hood is a little...soft. Here are a couple of examples of games he played in, but had to be taken out. IIRC, there were others.

I don't want this to sound critical of Rodney, I really enjoy the Kid adn hope he is a Jazzman for a long time, but the jazz need to plan a roster that accounts for Hood's little injuries.

And with Alec's penchant for flying down the lane and throwing himself in the air, the Jazz are in a tough spot when Rodney bangs knees, or steps on a foot, or gets roughed up a bit.

Soft is the wrong assessment. If you have an ankle or foot sprain it is not a matter of toughness whether you should play on it.

He had a rough rookie year... I hope it is behind him but I'm certainly still concerned. Hope it was just bad luck.
 
This sucks btw... Knee surgery is always bad, but hopefully it is just to clean up whatever the lingering affects he had from the Paul pierce hit. Haven't looked it up... It's the same leg right?
 
Hayward had a similar surgery last off season, it was on his foot though.

Be critical all you want. I would point out the difference between soft and injury prone. Some of the biggest players have to sit out game for quarters or half. Like LeBron and his leg cramps.

I see what you are saying but I do not think it needs to be something planed for. There are bigger fish to fry.
