2017 Exit Interviews

No. But that's just an additional 11 games (in which he had the amazing PER of 4.7 in ~25 minutes). He was a starter the whole season, and his woes are purely on him.

As a starter he shot 38% from 3

Off the bench it was below 20%.

I think with the starters he is able to spot up a lot more around Hill/Hayward and get 3's that he is willing to take (a lot of which Ingles tends to pass up). Off the bench he seems to force too much.

Of course this is on him to figure it out, but I also think he just performs way better with the starters. Ingles was probably the right choice in the Clippers series because he was absolutely locking JJ down, but I felt in the Warriors series Hood would have made more sense in the starting lineup.

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.

Seriously.

You think you're a starter? Well then, play so well that you FORCE the coach to start you. That's what you do.

Tiiiiiiiny *** sample. He was a starter throughout the season. They parked his *** on the bench in the playoffs due to his horrific performance. If he played well, he would have started. The Jazz aren't running a charity for the fragile. Earn your minutes, or sit your *** down.
 
When you start playing for w's you're going to have some guys upset about minutes especially when you have a fairly deep roster. Exum had moments in the season, mostly early on, where he looked like he should be in the d-league. I understand if he's frustrated, I just hope he turns that frustration into motivation to work hard this offseason. Exit interviews the day after getting punked by GSW may not bring out the cheerful side.

Yeah he did go hero ball more often this season. I think he played hard defensively, but he did get beaten on back cuts a lot. Maybe a focus thing.
 
Hood has been disappointing in the playoffs but we can't deny the injuries have affected his season.

I consider him a starter too.

Not that tiny. Small for sure, but it was about 15 games off the bench when you include playoffs.

Locker Room Clean-out happening today.
Exit interview media availability begins around 10 Am MTN.

I'll try to post some quotes here.

In years past the exit interviews brought us such drama as the CJ Miles melt down, the Rodger Bail hatchet job, and Dennis Lindsey's confessing his mistakes.

Stay tuned.

Refresh my memory.. any links?
 
Hood pisses me off so bad. Shut the hell up, heal over the offseason, come back in camp and play like you did in year two and your starting job will take care of itself. Maybe I'm just irked because it's been a minute since this Jazz squad had a malcontent. And maybe I'm wrong here, but the quality of Hoods all-around game seems to suffer when his shot isn't falling as opposed to a guy like Jingles who gives you all around effort regardless of if he's hitting shots.

Exum on the other hand, I give a pretty big pass on this year and I expect more from him in 2018 than it seems like everybody else does. I absolutely loved where his game was headed when he tore his ACL. We all know the year after an injury like that is somewhat of a mulligan season, especially for Dante considering how green he is. Add to that the fact Quinn and management obviously made the decision to bring Dante back at a pretty slow pace this year. I think it's a pretty big deal that this offseason Dante gets to focus on improving his body as opposed to rehabbing from an injury. I'm still excited about this kids potential, I understand his frustration because he wanted to "run" this year while the Jazz were insisting that he "walked", and I think he's going to make an absolutely huge jump next season and surprise most everyone on this board.
