How disappointed are you with Rodney Hood?

pointgawh said:
I was really expecting him to take his game to the next level this season but so far he has shown me he is a wing player who can't shoot, at times he reminds of the feeling I had for Trey Burkes of last season.

is Hood still the wing player of the future of this team? what is your assessment of him so far?

Be patient. It's his second year. He's young. Yes, he can't hit the broadside of a barn, but two years ago and last year neither could Hayward or Burks. Both bounced back the following year. He's still very talented, and still a young player figuring out how to play at the NBA level. I expect him to bounce back.
 
I'm disappointed but not surprised. I figured he could go through some rough patches - but this is a little worse than I thought.

Still plenty of time to finish strong.

Locke sez he's hit the wall. I hope he is taking care of himself after games.

I worry he has a bit of anxiety... He's got a good stroke and was awesome last year. I was expecting so much more. I'm not giving up though at all... guy is a worker and still so young and inexperienced. He's pressing Trey style doe.
 
If hood could shoot and stay healthy he wouldn't have fallen to the Jazz. Not his fault. Nor is it hisfAult if he has anxiety.

I blame Lindsey for the roster. And I blame Quin for either not teaching his team to shoot, or putting them in positions to score.

Great points. Utah has hired a ton of player development coaches but are players developing? We see guys like Ian Clark go elsewhere and have success. Meanwhile, Hood, Booker, Millsap, Johnson, etc have either regressed or stayed the same.

And DL has done absolutely nothing to improve the roster. May as well replace him with a cardboard cutout.

Favors, Gobert, Hayward, Burks and Ingles have all improved. Lyles, Johnson and Exum can't really be used as examples.

Ian Clark is having success? In what world are you living in?

Ian Clark is playing with Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. And even then he's still averaging only 4.4 points per game. His 21 points didn't prevent a Curry-less GSW from getting blown out by a Deron-less Mavs team. So yeah, you must have a very distorted definition of success.
 
Hood was selected a few places higher than Cleanthony Early. You don't see Hood getting shot at a strip club and having his good teeth ripped out so I guess his selection is a victory.

On this year's draft Bobby Portis is averaging about 8 points and 4 boards and last night went to 16 and 7.

I am disappointed with how Hood has played this year, but I'm not to the point of being angry or being upset that we drafted him.
Almost every player goes thru a sophomore slump and he has been asked to do a lot with the offense in only his second year. That being said, I wish he would be more consistent and find his shot again.
I am still glad we drafted him and tbh I'm surprised he fell that low in the draft...he will be fine in the long run, but yes, this season has been disappointing.

I echo this. Very disappointed but not worried overall. He probably won't get to the level I thought he would, but he'll be a fine player overall and considering how late in the draft we took him I say fine.

But man he's shooting like Ronnie Brewer this year yo. Oh well. He'll find his shot again.
