Trade Deadline

Inefficient chuckers who shoot 40%, don't play defense, don't make any teammate better, and don't have a single special bbal skill aren't worth much.

He's worth less than Trey Burke.

FG 3pt

Hood
.423 .361

Burks

Hood has made 1.4 more shots per 100 this season

Burks ranks with Burke, Neto, and Booker in shooting efficiency. Hood is an elevation above them, approaching Hayward's tier.

Burke, Burks, Neto, Booker have little trade value. At this point I would rank them:

Booker
Burke
Burks

Burks and Hood are remarkably similar statistically. The biggest differences are that Hood attempts more threes, something that Burks should do, and Burks gets to the line more.

Vertical Sources: Houston has started contacting teams about trading Dwight Howard.

He lasted longer than I thought he might in Houston. Please oh please Basketball gods, get Howard in New York with Melo, and let them sign Larry Sanders too.

Basic statistics maybe. Hood crushes Burks in TS% (the most important offensive metric IMO. Jordan, LeBron, Durant, Curry lead that ****).

Burks is down a notch below the Monta Ellis type offensive efficiency, but he can't score in volume like players of that caliber. If he defended he would make up for it, but he doesn't.

Plus Hood is early and on the rise. Bring this up in two years when it's relevant.

Also, the NBA is extremely generous in assists. Burks gets a lot of his assists by making a simple swing pass. Hood creates real assists.

Watch the assists on nba.com/stats. They're giving assists to players who throw an entry pass to a high post who holds the ball for 3 seconds and then takes a shot. That's the type Burks gets.
 
Burks is unbelievably overrated here and makes Hood suck. We should trade him+something else for Teague.

yeah we have so many players on the team who get the ball in the high post, post up, and score after a 3 second wait.
