I had Rodney Hood rated almost on par with Aaron Gordon and Marcus Smart, tied with Nurkic for the 10th best player in this draft, higher than Nik Stausksas.
When the pick was on the clock I was chanting 'Rodney Hood'.
Heres my Ratings a week before the draft (a day or 2 before the Embiid Injury)

The anti-Zimmerman. I see you bro.
Kinda like underwear.
The reason we had first round pick is for using cap room to gain first round picks, not second rounders. Novak trade, while cost us 7.2 mil of cap room of non expiring deal, did not get us first rounder, which it should have. The fact Hood is doing well so far emphasizes the importance if getting these first round assets, which DL did well last year, but failed at this year evidenced by that poor Novak trade, while other teams like Boston get first rounders for half the price.

I am glad the Jazz are not simply playing to keep getting draft picks. They actually wanted Novak - a stretch big guy. They ended up paying a lot less then they would have for Marvin which I am sure they were aware of when they made the deal. If one looks at how the Spurs use Bonner you can understand why DL wanted him and how he thinks Novak should be used.
