Game #15 New Orleans Pelicans @ Utah Jazz -- Sat. Nov. 28th @ 7pm MST

Not only is he good at finishing, but there is nothing simple about some of his baskets.
He definitely brings a unique skillset to the wing position.

I really like how all of our wings can play multiple positions and each have special skills

Hayward can play the 2,3,4 and even a little point maybe. Plays great D, passes well, gets to the line, has that step back J, and takes allot of threes

Hood can play the 2, or 3, has really good handles and is great at exploiting the mid-range game, can stop on a dime and pull up for a jumper at anytime with great elevation on his jumper, pretty good at getting to the rim, even has a decent hook shot.

Burks can play the 1,2, or 3, is playing great in the 4th quarters, gets to the line and shoots a very good percentage, is great on the fast break, gets into the paint with ease, is becoming a good passer, and is a good rebounder. I even noticed this game that he was directing the offense vocally and with hand signals allot. Signs of him becoming a leader and a player quin trusts
 
Hayward post up game is coming along too and will get better.
Just more versatility in our wings
 
It needs to be said again. Asik sucks. (Just missed an easy two hand dunk lol)
 
Damn Rudy got up high on his and one dunk on Davis
 
Two buckets and a steal early in the third quarter for neto.

Also something that doesn't get talked about much with Hood is his ability to get a comfortable shot in any situation. No matter the situation double teamed no problem shot clock, or game clock winding down, no problem.

I will say though. At times these wings can be our achilles' heel on offense. They need to be better at involving favors more, and they sometimes bog down the offense and cause long droughts because they make the team lose their offensive rhythm and flow. This happened with a 20 point lead yesterday. At one point we went so long with no buckets that the lead at one point dwindled to 4-6 points.

But they are still young and improving. The future is bright with these three.

Hayward just passed up a three that was about as wide open as you can get. He passed out to neto at the three point line who was also wide open. Neto passed up the three as well and instead threw up a super high floater that missed

Good post. Agree with all of that
 
Nice block by rudy. Blocked Davis three point attempt.
 
I think that's why we are 8-7 and not 10-5 or 11-4. This does give me encouragement for the next few years as this team grows together they will find more offensive consistency.

Great pass by Burks.
He went baseline and when the defense collapsed found Booker cutting to the rim for the and one
 
Good Lord
Just saw the Booker to alec around the back to Rudy reverse layup sequence.

Wow
