With the 23rd Pick... Rodney Hood

I've never been one to shy away from these big calls, tbh.



I'd take Hood's consistent 3's over this blocks any day of the week.



Suit yourself.
Good percentage outside and good use of pick and pop though. Really promising and a need for the Jazz. Gives me comfort knowing the Jazz did not draft Stauskas.
 
Care to explain why Hood is going to have a better career than Hayward? I would love to hear that.

Yeah of course:

1. With the right conditioning and coaching, I believe that if he works at it he can be a better on-ball defender than Hayward. At the very least he won't get backed down as much. He probably won't have as many highlight chasing down blocks, but he'll be better at stopping his man in a half court situation.


2. I believe he could be a more consistent shooter both with the 2pt and with the 3pt shot. (he never dipped below 35% in college 3's, Hayward was below 30% in his last year of college ball)


3. Judging by the way he speaks and how he was able to become the Captain of Duke in his 1st year as a transfer, his character, etc, I do believe Hood is stronger mentally as a competitor/player.



We'll just have to wait and see at the end of the day, at least I'll live as I believe. No matter what they take from me - they can't take away my dignity.

You're way off base on the defense. Hood just isn't a good defender, and I don't think he ever will be. Not tough enough.

He most likely is a better shooter. There's a lot more to offense than shooting though. Hayward is better at almost everything else, offensively.

As for leadership...we'll see. Hood is a quiet guy, but I would love for him to be a good leader. I just think his skillset leads him to be a role player on a good team, starter on a bad team.

As for your last paragraph, I have no clue what you're talking about, but good for you bruh. They can't take the dignity that you don't have.
