Imo Hood could easily be the best catch and shoot three point shooter in the league, but I think he gets into a lot of trouble when he tries to dribble and make a play for himself.....prolly worked a lot on it this off season though.

IMO you're totally off with this statement...Hood is deceptively good with the ball in his hands. He is good at getting to the rim and he has a nice "stop on the dime" jumper. He's not just a "catch and shoot" guy.

Tfivas is always wrong.

That's what impressed me so much about Hood over the last few weeks of the season. He had a surprisingly good arsenal for a rookie. And such a sweet 3PT shot. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if he becomes a rich man's Korver - i.e. he shoots in the high 40's from deep but ALSO has the ability to get inside.

Could it be that the Jazz of all teams end up loaded with good wings? It's gonna be another fun season!

Yes. Jazz could have one of the strongest wing rotations in the league. Hayward, Hood and Burks are all capable of posting big numbers on any given night. Add in a pretty competent Ingles and a defensive specialist in Millsap as needed. That's a very good set of wings. And the reason DL didn't go after anyone in free agency.

Lol every time he takes the ball to the hoop its a TO
See dribbling off his foot to lose the game against Washington last season

You should listen to the interview with DL today and what he says about Burks -- I think he is going to surprise everyone this year.

I feel like people in the organization and here have said that every year. Practice play is different than game play. I need to see him perform like a stud for a majority of a season to believe it.

This. Hood has this sort of dribble penetration post pivot move that is really ****ing good.
 
God this makes me so sad that Exum is out for the year. We could have been legit, like maybe 53-55 wins legit, this season. Now I'm hoping for 45.

I think that one or two events might be standing out in your mind for some reason. Confirmation bias. Everyone loses the ball sometimes. I don't think Hood's turnovers are out of line.

Edit: His Turnover Ratio is 8.4% which ties him for 18th among shooting guards. This tells me that you are probably wrong about this particular problem.

What is Hayward's?
Although I'm not quite as worried anymore about Gordon. If he doesn't have a clear path, he'll resort to the step back jumper. In years past, it seemed (and maybe it's confirmation bias on my part), that he'd force a drive or a pass and turn it over a lot.

Gordon is 11.5%, tied for 56th among shooting guards.
