Hood is the reason 3.0 (Thanks for reading)

[Handlogten's Heros]

He said shooting guards who can score 17 points per game. I said that there are lots of shooting guards who can score 17 points a game if given minutes and shots.

No one said anything about how many threes are taken or how efficiently.

He isn’t efficient... ts% is below league average. He has some gravity to him though so %s don’t tell the whole story.

I don’t think every player is the same mentally.
I think Jamaal Crawford could go 1-7 and still have the confidence to believe the will make he next one.

I think when hood goes 1-7 he starts to doubt himself.

Hood has started off slow many times and then hit a bunch in a row, so I disagree. More often Hood starts off slow and then picks things up. So he is probably better at that than others. Hood shoots poorly in the first quarter where he shoots 28%. So more often than not he is "shooting poorly" and people say he should be benched and then he starts shooting better after a few shots. He plays the most minutes and gets the most shots off in the 2nd and 3rd quarters and those are his best shooting averages. Hood needs shots and rhythm to get going.

Statistically he is a good shooter so i am fine with his ups and downs that every shooter in the league has. Curry has plenty of off nights and is one of the best shooters ever. He has a bunch of 1-7, 2-10 and so on type games. Then he comes out with a good shooting game. Hood does the same thing.

Shooting from three is going to be inconsistent by nature.

Not really. Hood hasn't been inefficient. There are not *****oads of guys who can take seven 3's in a game and shoot 40%.

You just keep holding on to that three-point percentage with white knuckles. After all it is his only positive start this year.

It seems you’re having a hard time understanding the advanced statistics. Those are numbers that we came by using math. LOL. So let me put this in words since the stats are speaking for themselves.

Hood doesn’t help his team win.

15 mil tops i don't think he's worth 20

These types have all gotten overpaid the last few years. I know the cap isn’t exploding but there are enough teams with space and many that can create it.

There is more to efficiency then shooting a decent percentage from 25 feet away.

He’s a good outside shooter but his TS% is 53.5%... Stephs is 66%... steph can finish at the rim and is a good shooter from everywhere... he also gets to the line.

If rod doesn’t have it going he is not a contributor... steph still is.

I’m fine with that at 10-15M a year that is fine... there is almost no way he gets that small of an offer. I’d set the over under at 18.5M per year and I’d take the over.

 

[DasJazz]

The man still averages nearly 18 ppg, despite his off-nights. You can't get a LeBron or MJ with every single roster spot. He's also one of the highest rated off the dribble 3pt shooters in the league.

Sure, Steph is obviously better. I am just comparing their 3 point shooting which is very important to our team and spacing. There are not many players that can fill that.

I used Steph as an example of someone shooting a very similar 3 point percentage on a similar number of shots. You could take any player in the league and you will get the same thing statistically. My example is still true of other players that are just shooters. Klay has bad shooting nights. Although he is a better shooter so he has less of them. But Hood is a good spot up shooter and pull up shooter and we need that on our team.

Yes, he should not be overpaid and should be traded if we can net a better player. Just like anyone else.

 

[Getting Traded]

We haven't given him a nick yet, so I propose What the Hell? What's wrong with this kid's shot, and more importantly, with QS continuing to give him the green light. And don't get me started on Harpring's bull **** about letting him continue shooting even though he can't hit the broad side of a barn with a handful of wheat. NO! He's streaky as hell and needs his *** benched when he goes 0 for 7 to stop him from missing even more shots. Sit yo *** down Swaggy P wannabe.

Last five games: 3/14, 4/17, 9/20 (yay!), 4/13, 1/10.

The Jazz are losing games because of Hood. He's not a primary scorer. Also, WHY IN THE HELL WAS THABO KEPT OUT ALL GAME LAST NIGHT? If he isn't on slight injury rest then QS was an idiot. Starting Jerebko and Favors was the obvious decision against AD and DMC, but why in the hell didn't he sub in Thabo for this recently scrubby *** Rodney Hood?

Final rant: Hood is not and never will be a primary option or even a secondary. He's a damn role player who chucks up shots and is very inefficient. His expiring is officially added to my must trade list.

I propose "Rodney Should" -- he could and should be better, but he's not.

that's what happens when you get minutes and plenty of shots.
(And it's actually 17.0 to be exact. For accuracy sake)

PPG is not the end all be all... Big Al could still get 20 a night with time and shots.

With Hood I think if everyone was self aware and just said this is who he is... we aren’t going to force feed him on nights where he doesn’t have it.

I just hope DL knows where his contract demands are and has a good read on his market.

Exactly. If you take 15 shots per game and average 17 points per game, like hood does, its nothing special at all. Literally tons of guys in the nba can score 17 points per game if they get to put up 15 shots per game.
