All Good in the HOOD *Highlights*

Hid is showing mind-blowing comfort on offense as a rookie wing. It really is quite staggering.

I can't remember the last wing who was taken after 20th that looks this comfortable initiating offense.

Yeah and on top of that consider that he was out for almost half the season with injuries and still able to come in and fit right in, is quite amazing. Definitely mature beyond his years.
 
He looks more like a 3rd year player than a rookie. If this kid can put it all together he could be something else. Hood and Hayward are our Jordan and Pippen. Can't wait to see what he does this off season.

Hood has looked way legit the past few weeks. I was really excited when we drafted him last year and its good to see him healthy. I didn't think he would be this good though...looks like a really smart player too. IMO is easily the steal of the draft.

Funny thing is the Jazz just may have the "steal" of the draft 2 years in a row now with Rudy the year before.

And we still have people saying Dennis Lindsey "hasn't proven anything yet." He's Acquired Trey Burke, Rudy Gobert, Dante Exum and Rodney MFin Hood Via draft. As much as people here hate Trey he is still a valuable bench player, and Dante Exum is starting to grow as of late.

He also hired Quin "Americsn Psycho" Snyder as our head coach.

I think in three years we're going to see a team that is tough as nails with the majority of the team built off of draft picks acquired by Dennis Lindsey. Rome wasn't built overnight.

I also believe that when this team is established we will have a 60 win season and have instilled fear into teams like no other. I am very optimistic about Hood. I think he can become a quality guard much like Richard Hamilton was. He may be the next superstar for all we know.

Its like OH EMM GEE guys there was no scouting report about this pre-draft. Rudney has ten good games healthy and OMGOMOMG MOM.


Rodney has greatness destiny my friends. Pick ur tongues up off the ground.
 
Just to change the subject, doesn't Fav's 15 footer look automatic?

It's awesome to see him nail those with confidence.
He doesn't even think about it, sees he has space, shoots it, scores.

That drive and the spin into a fadeaway @ 0:33 is some elite stuff.

Hayward just chillin' in the corner Exum style @ 0:52 for a solid 10 seconds. Normally always curls up to Gobert in that situation. The guy is spent. I'm assuming Snyder also told him to lay low and have the youngsters initiate more of the offense.

Yeah, man. That spin-to-fade was absolutely out of this world. A beautiful ****ing move.

I was trying today to come up with a comp for him and this seems as good as any. Rip had limited athleticism but was able to use what he's got to become a very efficient scorer.


Couple of things to note too, Hood looks to be a much better 3 point shooter already at his young age. Another thing is Hood is much better ball handler / playmaker which makes him much more of a threat.


I mean, imagine Rip with a 3 point shot, and can also make plays. Wow.
