Trade for Zach Lavine

There will be some players with LaVine like talents in the 2017 draft. Pretty sure they LaVine supporters in this thread are going to like Terrance Furgeson, who's not only a prolific 3pt shooter and run and jump athlete, he's a big shot taker and maker. Team USA member, 5 star recruit and Alabama commit.

There's also Malik Monk who's an absolute freak athlete, and can really shoot, he'll likely be out of the Jazz drafting range though..

You are right. I didn't know he sat out a year. Still doesn't matter. He was still coming off a 10 ppg year at MSU and not even playing ball, while Zach is in the NBA.

Even if you want to look back at Zach last year and compare it to Hood's year at MSU, he still was doing a lot more. He was dropping 37 points on the Warriors.

What? LaVine was also a Freshman in college when he was 18-19, just like Hood. Only difference is that Hood is 5 (or so) months older in their respective classes.

lol. what are you talking about. You are making too much of this. It doesn't matter.

All you need to know is, Hood 23, LaVine is 20. Hood is 2.5 years older than Lavine. They were drafted the same year. Lavine has already put up higher Career scoring nights than Hood. It's reasonable to say that Lavine is further ahead at his age, than what Hood was at the same age. And Hood was somewhere in college still at 20, while Lavine is already making his mark in the NBA at 20.

Lavine has handles on the ball and Hood does not. That is what will keep Hoods game from going to a different level. He basically is a 3 D player at best. Lavine can take it to the rack and shoot it.. His defense needs to step up but someo can teach him this since he has all the athletic ability he could be a lock down defender. People that think Hood has a brighter future are nothing but HOMERS. Not one Gm would take Hood over Lavine at this point.

Hood has very good handles

Agreed. For a 2/3 Hood has very good handles. LaVine actually has a pretty loose handle and plays a bit reckless. Hood has fewer turnovers per game and averages 7 more minutes than LaVine.

Hood's handles are great. They aren't flashy or anything, so they aren't going to stand out. The biggest thing for Hood is just using his off hand more and finishing with contact around the rim, which he is improving on.

Hood's handles aren't great, for the exact reason you mentioned. He's one handed, and that makes his moves predictable. That should be his primary focus in the off-season.
