Hood and Winslow have big nights!
- Thread starter acc hoops
- Start date
Congrats to both of them but dang how I do wish we had Winslow still.
Hood is having a fantastic season. He's going to be a 15-20 ppg guy in the league for a long time.
Hood= Yes definitely
Winslow= Everyone thought him falling to 10 was absurd. Also the Celtics made a godfather offer to try to get him at 9. So I don't think Winslow is surprising anyone.
In defense of my Nugs, the Heat only won by 5 ;-).
Winslow seems to be getting stronger as the year goes on, at least if his box score is any indication. Heat had him guarding Mudiay at times, another example of his versatility.
Winslow should be an ALL NBA defender in another year or 2. If he can consistenly knock down 3's (probably a few years away from that) he will be an All-Star.
I can see Rodney Hood getting as good as Joe Johnson's peak a few years ago.. He can be a great 2nd or 3rd option for a playoff team.
Well, he was selected 10th and is one of the top 5-7 rookies in the league. So, I'd still say he's overachieving compared to where he was drafted. And I think that's especially impressive considering he's younger than 8 of the 9 guys drafted ahead of him.
What kind of night did Hanstravel and JP Harrystone have? how about Butter?
I think Butter retired and was just named as one of the top NBA players of all time. OFC
In the one and done era I have to admit I peek in a little more at NBA games these days to watch former Dukies. It's always fun to see our guys doing well in the league. There are few things I miss more from last year than Winslow ripping down a rebound or making a steal and heading down court with a full head of steam.
On a related topic, anybody keeping an eye on Redick's 3 point shooting percentage? He hit one last night from the bench, not kidding!! Too bad he's too slow, too short, un-athletic and will never last in the NBA.

Winslow going coast to coast steamrolling by opponents was a sight to see! Same with Quinn or Tyus shooting a top of the key 3, same with a Jahlil spin and dunk!

J.J. is having a ridiculously good season.
Tyus is averaging 45% from 3 and has a 5:1 assist:turn ratio in spotty time. He is the T-Wolves' primary backup now though and is getting more minutes. He too is not yet 20 years old. Not bad for a guy with his body at his age. He just sees things quicker than everyone on the floor. 10/10 for game feel. Low marks for defense at this point. They pick on him a bit.
I bet he and Jah would take less money to be on the same team. It's a shame they can't be road buddies. It would be a good thing for Jah especially.

Completely agree about Winslow. I actually recently rewatched some of the Duke/Virginia game from last year on YouTube. Him being able to speed up the game by going coast to coast really helped us against that tenacious defense!In the one and done era I have to admit I peek in a little more at NBA games these days to watch former Dukies.

Winslow was a steal in the draft for Miami. I can't believe he didn't go sooner, what a baller. I miss watching him take it coast-to-coast.
