Burks or Hood?

... when [Quin's garbage] offense stagnates.

You doin' okay, brough?

As much as I love Burks, the poll results speak for themselves. Hood is surprising everyone with his maturity and ability to score in bunches.

Well he is 23. Burks is only a year older. It's great seeing Hood playing this great, if he wasn't it would be concerning due to his age.

Burks is my 2nd favorite player on the Jazz. And I'd still keep Hood over him, though they bring a different skill set to the table. I think Hood can be a 20 PPG scorer in this league and wouldn't be shocked to see him lead the Jazz in scoring in the next 2-3 years.

I don't want to see either go for a long time though.

Thanks vinylone.

Why one or the other? Both relatively cheap, their not redundant in any way... IMO the 3rd SG is a much bigger issue than either of them..

Both players bring some uncommon combination of skills to the table. Plus they contrast well, and are kinda interchangable

All hail Burks.

I've been a huge Burks fan since the day the Jazz drafted him, and I'm glad to see him playing as well as he is...I voted for Burks, but I'd HATE to see Hood go.

This is a much closer decision than most are making it out to be. Hood has been playing out of his mind at times but so has Burks. Burks' mid-range improvement has been pretty solid. He's kept the Jazz in games when [Quin's garbage] offense stagnates.

I don't get how you can defend Corbin to the nth degree and diss on Quin, who is at another level, so far as ability to coach? Is it because you still haven't gotten over Corbin? Time to move on, Franklin.

Hood is valuable for quarters 1-3. Burks for the 4th quarter.

From now on I hope to see more Burks/Favors pick and roll in crunch time and less Hayward.
