Hood is good

[riverman]

It's called chemistry and pros that Hood and Kanter are...they still are learning the playbook and tendencies...playing while "thinking" about where to be than just getting there second nature....the good news is both have plenty of time to acclimate going into the playoffs and Hood is going to help us in the playoffs in my view much more than Stauskas would have..Rodney and Enes are unselfish confidant players who don't need to stuff stats to help you win but can score with a green light...our players also need to learn how to play with the new guys...we're just in early transition roster wise...

Not in the past couple games, especially not yesterday. Yesterday he was used like Seth Curry.

It's one game and Kanter is a high usage big that has had an affect on the amount of set play calls for Rodney.

I don't know about you, but I think we'll see a better balance to there involvement in the offense moving forward.

It's something that I've seen in the past two or three games, not just yesterday.

I'm hoping. Acquiring Hood was pointless unless we can get him in a bigger and better role.

I think it's more than chemistry. I dont see us running any sets that have Rodney curling screens. Weve gone away from his post ups that worked early.

Are you really comparing them as shooters...?

I don't see why not.
As far as i can tell, defenders give him space from beyond the arc and i don't trust him to deliver consistently. Maybe he's more like Harkless in that regard.

Hood is Good, Dame is.... Lame ?

 

[KingSpeed]

Depth is nice to have, but at the end of the day quality trumps quantity. I would rather have Dame backed up by Baldwin than 2 or 3 interchangeable journeymen.

Quantity is required. Must have at least 13, preferably 15 on roster.

Hood is a career 37% 3pt shooter.
ET is a career 29% 3pt shooter.

Comparing them makes no sense. Hes nothing like Harkless either....

You're also basing a lack of confidence in Hoods shot on 8 games of shooting 32%. That's a very small sample size. He makes his next two and he'll be shooting 37.5% for us.

I'm just calling it as i see it. All i got is his reputation and his performance as a Blazer. I'm open to changing my mind about him.
