Rodney Hood, a steal?

Hood just 'gets it'. Only injuries could prevent him from having a 10+ year career.

What a complete and total steal in the 20s. In back-to-back drafts, no less. ****ing Dennis Lindsey.

Whao whao whao

There will be no praising anything the Jazz FO has done on this forum. They suck, have mired us in medicrity and ensured that the jazz are a farm team for eternity!

I'm gonna enjoy running some posters over with my band wagon. I'll blame it on a hand cramp affecting my steering.
 
Hood reminds me a bit of Wes Matthews in his first year. He seems good to very good in a lot of different areas, with no major weaknesses. Definitely a great pick.

I agree. I am a bit worried about the health issues as they bothered him in college too. I can't find anything that diagnoses his nausea issue... wonder what is up with that. The bigger issues are the foot problems. Really hoping he can play out the rest of the season without going to the locker room.

Not saying he can't be relied on, but I don't think the issues can be dismissed as merely flukey. I think he'll play more games next year, but may be a guy that is never an iron man.
 
If he stays healthy I think we're good to go. His game is gorgeous, but he's far from proven he can stay healthy.

We share the same birthday so I already know he's a bawse.

The Jazz are so damn good at drafting in the 20's that DL should see if he can trade this year's pick for a pick in that range.

Let's not go overboard here...since AK47 (and not counting Hood), these are the names of players the Jazz drafted in the 20s: Scott Padgett, Deshawn Stevenson, Raul Lopez, Pavel Podkolzin, Morris Almond, Kosta Koufos, Eric Maynor, Gorgui Dieng. Other than a couple of career backup role players, nothing to be that impressed about.

. I don't think that it is necessary to try and bring in a big name (or somewhat big name) free agent this summer. I think the smartest thing we could do is hope for internal improvement with everyone finally knowing their roles. See how well our core meshes next season, and then make any upgrades the next off season if needed.
Guys like Middleton, Green, Butler making huge improvements and showing they could be worth max money. Who knows if one of our guys in Burks, Hood, or Exum makes a huge leap and we need to max them out at some point.

Agreed. We should only go after someone who is clearly superior, young and established. (who the heck fits that bill?)

If we don't go after a FA, we keep cap flexibility in order that we can leverage for future assets (eat an expiring in exchange for a protected first in order to facilitate a deal. The whole Warriors thing to a smaller degree).

I think he meant in the DL era.

How the hell do you leave off Gobert? AK47, Gobert, Hood, Stevenson, Koufos are tremendous picks in the 20's. We can't count Dieng and Podkolzin, since they were immediately traded. Lopez would have been a player had he not been injured. So we missed on Padgett, Almond, and Maynor. That is a freaky good success record for drafting in the 20's.
 
Lol I don't think he's going to retire over a stomach virus. I mean if he had Chron's and had to have half of his intestines cut out, maybe.. But you all are tripping about him "staying healthy" like he's twisted his ankles or broke bones.. smh.. redneck Jazz fans.
