You have the mention the part that he is going to take his offseason break after summer league. Everyone else is just doing it in the early part of the season. It is traditionally the best way for the players to get fully healthy and then to train.

I think Hood was really pissed off that he missed so much time this season. He wanted that experience bad.

Well, if the Jazz had made the playoffs they could still be playing. So continuing on through summer league and then taking a break is not that big a deal. He has time to rest for a bit and then get ready for training camp. Agree with Doublea, Hood barely got back to playing and then the season ended. He's still amped up and doesn't want to quit just yet.
Wasn't there one summer league game in which he hit 7 three-pointers or something like that? He has such a sweet shot. I fully expect "The Prince of Threes" to average 40%+ next season. And what's impressive about him is he can also get inside. Definitely underrated at draft time. Two years in a row we get the steal of the draft!

And so many want to bring in another wing so Hood's minutes can go to about 15/per.
I don't think Burks can go hard yet. I know he was doing some light shooting as the season ended. I'm sure he's on a conservative rehab program and I'd be surprised if he went to P3 this year.
AS for Exum, he's used to those 3-mth summer vacations from school. Wouldn't he be a HS sophomore this season?
JK...but really no concern (at least about him taking a walkabout right now). Everyone needs a break. I'll bet he's back around summer league time.
Burks can't go full contact till July.

Only reasonable if you assume we are playing more than 3 Overtime periods a game. Because you have 83 minutes more than are in an NBA game in this rotation.

Gunna be an exciting season! I love overtime!
DL's job is to get QS talent and we just need to trust in QS to make it work. We all trust QS has a formula to get more minutes available on the floor for everyone so that we can bring in wings and still have room for Burks and Hood to get theirs.
Unfortunately he had some weird injuries (inflammation in foot sidelined him beginning in November and then again in January as well as his chronic 'runs').
I don't know if anything can be done to fix/strengthen his foot. But here's hoping it no longer bothers him and he shows up ready for next season.

Is it QS's job to make the mathematics work even if DL sets up impossibilities?

Alec is not a poor defender due to lack of speed
QS is a professional coach and on another level than us. He gets paid handsomely. If he can't find a minutes loophole to accommodate our irrational assessment of minute distribution this offseason then he shouldn't be coaching in the highest league of professional sports.

Let's not underestimate coach Q by assuming he is restricted by the same laws of nature that everyone else is.
