What's new

Jazz VS Rockets 9pm ET / 7pm MT

Really excited about hood. His defense was pretty bad in summer league. He isn't a lockdown defender but he's clearly improved and is pretty good on ball.

His offensive game is really diverse... Much more so than I thought when at duke. Seems to get separation when he wants to. Hitting on these late round picks is such a big deal.

If Hood continues to play at this level then he and Burks are the answer at SG and the jazz can spend their money else where. Like a back up C and SF.

Hood being a reliable shooter and ball handler is very good news for this team.
 
With the emergence of Hood and Favors and Rudy, and Hayward having what could be termed a breakout year as well, our biggest problem in the future will be convincing Greg to mortgage the Miller's entire holdings to keep this team together for 6 or 8 championships in a row.

With a 90 million dollar cap on the horizon it should be very do'able. Right now, Jazz only have 6 keepers - Exum, Burks, Favors, Hayward, Gobert, & Hood. Booker, Millsap and Ingles are nice guys to have but they're all very replaceable and would all come relatively cheap if they choose to keep them.

The challenge is finding those maybe 2 (probably 3) additional pieces that will move this team into a legit contender.

It's time to start thinking about a backup C and a backup PG, IMO.

I still want the Jazz to get the best 3 and D player they can in the draft, but at the same time I like the 5 guys they have at the 2/3, and honestly think maybe a quality backup big who can shoot may be the best choice.
