With the 23rd Pick... Rodney Hood

Hood is a great pick.
A 6' 8" spot up 3 point shooter who can get his shot off.
Jazz also have Eric Murphy. A 6' 10" spot up 3 point shooter.
Should free up Favors and Kanter to get shots in the post.

At this point, I doubt Hood is really better than Hayward at anything. He might be in the future, but that is far from guaranteed. Hayward is better than the board gives him credit for.

Hood shot 42 percent from three point range. I am pretty sure Gordon hasn't done that but Maybe he has. I love this pick because Hood was slotted as high as 8th in some mocks and no lower than 20 so the Jazz got real value here. Jazz now have depth at SF and someone who can shoot coming off the bench. At this point we don't know if hayward is coming back.
 
Hood is a SF but he can play the two in certain situatons. He dribbles and passes well enough to play the two. Kinda of like Burks can play the PG but just in certain situations. His real position is at SF.

According to one of the DX reports he was the best player in the draft this year at shooting pull-up jumpshots.

NBA Draft had Exum at 4 and Hood at 12, getting these two with 5 and 23 is amazing!

Yup. Its hard not to give the Jazz an A for this.
 
Manu Ginobili ...just watch tape on Hood and that is who he looks like to me.

Quick release 3 pt. shooter - check

Can handle the ball - check

Cross over - check

Hustle player - check

Left handed - check

Great timing on offensive rebounds - check

Step back jumper - check

Moves without the ball - check

Man I am excited to see Exum and Hood running the Spurs offense, with a little experience!

How quickly they forget...
Hayward shot 47% on his 3's his rookie season and 41.5% two years ago. And that's NBA 3-PT range.
 
I remember hearing Jeff Van Gundy saying that he expects his GM to get guys that can score but it is his job as a coach to get the players to play defense. Hood may not have shown his defensive potential in college I believe Snyder will get him to buy in on defensive.
