Rodney Hood Going Hard!

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.

Maybe he'll take that little old lady's suggestion from the commercial and go with six players.

Defense isnt about sprinting faster down teh court, it's moving your feet latterally and fighting through picks with speed. Stuff Burks isn;t good at.

Not that Burks has excellent lateral speed but he has the tools, mainly size, to cover PGs. I think the main worry is his anticipation. He doesn't see the screens coming most of the time. He also won't hurt us as much as Burke does and the offensive gain could be more that defensive loss.

He is poor at fighting thorough screens, watching his man off ball, and dealing with physicality.
He does fine defending on ball against speed. That's what I was trying to say.
Lack of speed is not his defensive weakness. Strength, technique, and focus are what make him a poor defender imo

We don't need more wings. We have plenty of good enough players at those positions that need minutes to finish developing. Hood and Burks both have more upside than Mathews. And Hayward is already superior to Mathews. I see no reason to complicate the backcourt when we have more pressing needs at backup PG and C.

You said it was a reasonable rotation and put in some minutes. So they are your minutes.

The minutes were a visual that depicted the asininity of the assumption that we'll pick up a wing without thinking it will cut minutes down for someone like Hood to some arbitrary number of, oh, 15 or so.

gotcha. It did not come across to me as sarcastic. I see I was wrong about that.
