Studies on streak shooting crunch numbers but neglect the psychological components of different game settings under which certain circumstances that would validate or nullify “hot criteria” can’t be measured.
DM is a PG for this team once Rubio is gone (and I hope that is sooner rather than later).If he is a spot shooter for us, he has to start. He can't run the offense and is an average passer. I think DM is best suited at SG. That's why he needs to play SF as a starter.
Is Hood better than Ingles at starting SF?

I would trade Hood and Favors for the Brooklyn pick and Osman. Cleveland should too.

DM needs to play next to a switchy defender on the perimeter that's an efficient, unselfish shooter on offense. I'd rather him play as the 1 (the shortest Jazz player), but playing next to a large PG that isn't ball dominant works also.
I like George Hill. I think it would be good for everyone if he came back.
Part of it is that the Jazz really need him to score so I think he feels like he has to force things. That may or not be true, but w/ the addition of Rubio to the team it certainly feels like it.I actually came here to say Hood is terrible and found there is already a thread! For a guy who is known for his shooting, he shoots 41% FG for his career, 40.8% so far this year.
The issue that bothers me the most is that he always has his mind made up already when he catches the ball, it's either a Pick & Roll with a big ONLY when Quin calls for it, or "Hey i'm going to shoot this regardless" (most of the time) and never looks to pass. He doesn't even look elsewhere. It's very sad to watch because it just shows his lack of basketball IQ. He also doesn't do anything other than shooting 3s and take contested jumper when his mind is made up. I've wanted him gone since his 2nd year.
I actually want the Jazz to tank this year - there are at least 6 potential franchise players in this draft class, so i don't mind that much that he's hurting the team, but please be gone next year.
