2017 Exit Interviews

The Jazz starting Ingles over Hood tells me their priority isnt making Hood the long-term starter anymore.

The Jazz trying to extend Hill during the season and letting guys like Neto/Mack over him at times tell me his development isnt the top priority.

Basically, the Jazz are more concerned about the lineups that they feel work the best and help them win rather than the development of Hood/Exum. If that continues, that means they are no longer guaranteed minutes or a set role, which during your contract year could hurt your value. That's a lot of pressure on them. Hopefully they respond well.

If Hood feels like he's getting left behind, then he's a total bitch. We need that guy to get back onto his year-2 development trajectory ASAP. He's exactly the type of player we need.

Exum... well, **** it. I'm not feeding the Exum discourse.

We need both these players to pan out. The rebuild could bust, otherwise.

Sounds as though, after 93 gms of saying the right things re: roles/starting/etc, some of the young Jazz saved their frustrations for today.

Speaking of Hood and Exum.

I'm taking your word for it, but I am amazed. Hood got plenty of PT despite being the worst player on the team most of the season.

WTF does Hood have to be upset about?

He sounded frustrated by the benching when asked if he thought he played better off the bench or starting. Said he feels like he is a starter and not a bench player.

I dont think he feels he is getting left behind, but it's undeniable the NBA values players who can be starters over players who come off the bench. I also think he was just generally frustrated by how ****ty he has played and the knee sprain. I wouldn't read too much into it being a problem with Hood, just seemed like a lot of stuff built up with him.
 
Damn, DL got on a plain to go to the Combine. What a bish. I wanted to hear his exit interview.
 
Hood was injured so much, and even when he played he was rarely 100%. It's hard to blame Quin for going with the more reliable Ingles to try to develop some on-court chemistry.IF Hood wants to be a starter he has to stay healthy (not really something he can 100% control) and make sure he performs consistently.It wouldn't surprise me if he was starting again to start next season.

He also has to play in a less-****ty manner. Find your teammates on the offense, hustle and play hard on the defense, quit chucking bricks when your shot is not going, and find other scoring options.

Knee sprain. Said it will take about a month to heal before he can get back to working on basketball activities.

Thankfully, it wasn't worse. Kid needs to get and stay healthy. He showed major potential before injuries, and then major issues the rest of the year. The Jazz need some dead-eye shooters. Hood has such a pretty stroke when it's on. Really hope he gets healthy and can capitalize on all that potential.
