Utah Jazz former player updates-How are our bro's doing?!

Rodney Hood tore his left achilles tonight against the Lakers. He was having a very good season, averaging 11 points on 50% shooting and 49% from 3. Apparently his achilles has been bothering him but the Blazers training staff let him go out and play anyway.

Jebus this is awful... good vibes Rods way. Wonder if players can sue teams over this stuff... damn.
 
Some on this board gave Rodney a lot of crap about his untimely crap. Nevertheless, he seemed like a good guy and wish him well.
 
Burks last 2 games have been very good.
6-7 shooting in one game and 6-10 in the last one

And by 18, obviously I mean 15... I started counting rows on his stats page, then noticed he were on several teams some years, then checked number of years, then wrote the first number... Still not bad, though.

Why was it obvious that you meant 15 when you typed 18? What clue did you leave behind.
You made a couple mistakes. You started talking about something you know nothing about. And you also tried counting for the first time without Count Von Count being present. Maybe you should leave it to the professionals?

He averaged 23.2 last year 2018-2019
2017-2018 ; 28.0 MPG
2016-2017 ; 23.7 MPG
2015-2016 ; 32.0 MPG
2014-2015 ; 30.8 MPG
2013-2014 ; 30.2 MPG

Down from previous years, like the man said right?
 
Ricky Rubio has 73 assists to 9 TOs over his last 7 games.

He's second in the league with 9.2 APG.

He's posting close to a ridiculous 5 AST/TO ratio.

He's on pace to become the first player ever to average over 12 PPG and 8 APG with less than 2 TOPG in a season.

He's +97 on the season (18 games played).

He's got a +7.7 net rating, highest among all starters outside the top-10 teams in the league (Jazz are led by Bojan at 4.2, Rudy at 3.8).

He's doing all of the above with Ayton suspended for 25 games since the season opener and with Baynes missing 9 games recently due to injury, on a Suns team featuring Frank Kaminsky, Dario Saric and Cheick Diallo at C (they're all PFs, and Kaminsky and Saric are missing a lot of bunnies around the rim, but they at least can catch a ball).

He's also doing so next to a ball-dominant guard like Devin Booker who still gets to average over 6 APG, while letting Ricky run the show and taking advantage of his leadership and understanding of the game, helping Book post an ultra-efficient 51-41-91 shooting line with close to 26 PPG.

Besides his excellent D and all-out effort, he's back to being an incredibly fun and impactful player on offense. Quin is an excellent coach, but it's just such a shame we never got to see the Jazz play around Rubio's strengths, instead relying on the same system that asked for such a different type of guard. The endless handoffs, hero ball in the 4QT and putting the rock in Ingles' hands could only take them so far.

A true PG that brought the energy, grit and cojones that this team lacks right now. I’m becoming very disenfranchised with the Jazz this season.
 
AB with 18 points (on 10 shots), 6 assists, and 8 rebounds in 30 minutes last night.

Wow. This deserves its own thread. Happy for Ricky.
 
Games with 9+ assists and 1 or less turnovers:

Rubio 7
LeBron 4
then 7 guys with 2
and 23 guys with 1

Games with 11+ assists and 4+ steals:

Rubio 3
Rest of NBA 6

AST – TO ratio (MIN 10 games played and 23 minutes per game)

  1. Ricky Rubio 4.88
  2. Marcus Smart 3.64
    = Difference of 1.24
  3. Draymond Green 2.41
    = Difference of 1.23
Marcus Smart is closer to #31 then he is #1.

Ricky has only played in 17.5 games too.
 
Looks like Rubio and Burks have found a place where they both fit. Rubio is definitely in a system that tailors more to his skill set, and Burks may just have needed more actual playing time to find his groove. Unfortunately with us we were trying to win and couldn't afford to let him figure it out.

I'm happy for both of them. Great guys and teammates.
