With the 23rd Pick... Rodney Hood

[Hantlers]

Hood can absolutely not play the 4.

I like the pick a lot, really good value. Great offensive player, really needs to work on his defense. Probably our best shooter from day 1. Better at creating his own shot than Hayward is, but not as good at creating for others.

Hood and Kyle Anderson had the most offensive talent of the players on the board. Great pick. Who knows how KA will translate to the NBA.

I'll be watching this comp with baited breath. I wanted the guy San Antonio took, but I never thought Hood would be on the board this late. He was a 14-15 guy to me.

I also want to know if the Jazz took Anderson if San Antonio would have been thanking DL and praying Hood fell to them.

Out of curiosity, how much basketball do you watch?

Going through the film on Hood, he looks better than James Young to me.

because he is.

Think the Bulls trading up to get McDermott let Hood fall. Think the Bulls would have gone for the best offensive player available and taken Hood where they were originally drafting, but were able to move up and get McBuckets.

Yes. I hope I'm wrong and he can be affective as a 3.

You mean "effective" yes? If you hope he is affective, that means he would be emotional about being a 3.

Hood is a nice pickup, but he is pretty slight like Hayward at 208 lbs. We sill haven't solved the problem of guarding the big and lanky NBA SFs like Lebron, George, and Carmelo. Might have to address it in FA.

Sorry, though, I mean to pay attention, but already it's too late! Go Jazz for a good draft...

I'm happy for McB. That's a perfect place for him. I'll be watching.
