Hood is the reason 3.0 (Thanks for reading)

I actually came here to say Hood is terrible and found there is already a thread! For a guy who is known for his shooting, he shoots 41% FG for his career, 40.8% so far this year.

The issue that bothers me the most is that he always has his mind made up already when he catches the ball, it's either a Pick & Roll with a big ONLY when Quin calls for it, or "Hey i'm going to shoot this regardless" (most of the time) and never looks to pass. He doesn't even look elsewhere. It's very sad to watch because it just shows his lack of basketball IQ. He also doesn't do anything other than shooting 3s and take contested jumper when his mind is made up. I've wanted him gone since his 2nd year.

I actually want the Jazz to tank this year - there are at least 6 potential franchise players in this draft class, so i don't mind that much that he's hurting the team, but please be gone next year.

Part of it is that the Jazz really need him to score so I think he feels like he has to force things. That may or not be true, but w/ the addition of Rubio to the team it certainly feels like it.
 
How often in basketball does a player get a bigger role and then the player gets worse? It's not common. Hood is scoring more points but he's less effective then he should be.

It happens when you ask a specialized talent to do things he isn’t really able to do. Hood would be good at standing beyond the 3 point line most the time waiting for a pass for an open 3. The guy isn’t horrible but he’s a roll player and a specialist he’s not a franchise guy or a superstar in this league. He isn’t someone you want taking you to an win, he’s someone’s who waits in the wings as a quick pass out bail out shot. Think if you tried to give someone like Kyle Korver a bigger role.....it’s not what he does....it’s not what he’s good at. His purpose is to wait on the wings to jack up 3s. You need guys like that, or even like Hood, but not as your primary guy. He’s a complimentary guy when you already have several good multiple talent individuals around them. I didn’t like Hoods decisions tonight, but relax, don’t kill the gets guy. I would prefer they trade him. That being said you can point out 10 plays in those last two minutes that were just as costly as Hoods two plays to this game. Rodney is not a franchise guy, that’s pretty clear, but he’s not horrible either.

Uhh, all the time. That is the common thing. That's why players who are really good at being high usage typically get paid the most money. If you could just promote everyone and have them improve w/ an increased role, then there would be less big deals being signed.

i agree. that first year after hayward was made into the #1 option, he struggled fairly mightily. he ended up figuring it out, but that increased role/responsibility/focus from the other team can be too much for many.

After Hoods instagram story tonight I’m just wondering when this wound breaks open. He’s obviously reading the hate on social media, which sucks, he really doesn’t deserve a ton of hate by any means, and it doesnt help fans or the teams cause if he ends up not being happy here because fans are sending out ****** things on social media.
 
I think we need to trade Hood and look to replace him with Hezonja. They are very similar, but I would estimate that Herzonja gets half the contract Hood does this summer. Hood is more proven, but Hezonja is only 22.
