Hood is on the board

[Jaqueax]

Where does he go? Also, where does Q go?

 

[esplanade91]

NOT a lottery pick.

 

[57stratdawg]

Q being LaQuinton Ross?

I saw he showed up at a predraft workout at like 18% body fat. How does that happen?

 

[PBRME]

I was afraid the Grizz were about to choose Hood over Shabazz. Well I was wrong all the way around. Gets steals, finishes at the basket, average range, not athletic. Why did we draft OJ Mayo again?

 

[codeDawg]

Surely we picked him up for somebody else. It makes no sense with Hood and Napier out there. Even if you think he's a marginally better pick for whatever reason, you can't just leave those other two guys out there.

 

[Seinfeld]

You know how the Grizz love em some SGs that can't shoot. Mother 17... Hood, Napier, Early, Hairston. I would have been happy with any of them, but now we've got Tony Wroten part 2.

 

[Jaqueax]

Hood yo the jazz

I don't know much other than they are a good franchise.

I would be surprised if we was that fat with this much money on the line

Define "good."

All I know is that it's the same franchise that gave up Magic Johnson for Pistol Pete and never did anything with 2 players who are universally considered the best at their position in a billion year period.

I would call the Jazz a ****** franchise personally, the kind that usually ruins peoples' careers, and I guess if I were to put it to you in college football terms they're the Cincinatti Bearcats.

If you make it out of there alive... You're someone.

Okay. Can we end this **** now. Rodney Hood made a good decision. He was never a Mississippi State fan, much like many of you are not "fans" of the company you work for. It was a business decision and it worked out for him, much to the chagrined of many on this board.

I don't follow. He traded a year of eligibility to get a Duke degree. He would have went at this spot or higher had he stayed (Moultrie went 27).

I agree. Well he did get an NCAA champ... Uhhh, nevermind

 

[AHSDawg]

He went to Duke to win more NCAAT games than MSU.... oh wait...

 

[dawgstudent]

Can't wait for myself and DawgatAuburn to post his NBA stats. 82 games next season.

 

[jb1020]

The Jazz didn't miss the playoffs from 1983 from 2004

Without doing huge amounts of research, I'm not sure a streak like that is rivaled in any professional sport.

Good might be a bit of an understatement, at least when describing the franchise as a whole.

 

[mstateglfr]

You dont follow the NBA from a historical perspective, do ya?

I cant remember the last time I heard the Jazz referred to as a ****** franchise. Look at the last 30 years- their record, their playoff history, etc. ******?

 

[mcdawg22]

Does that mean I have to read Hadad describe 82 *****?

How was Hood not a MSU fan? Didn't his parents go to school at State?
Why all the Hood hate?

 

[mcdawg22]

I don't hate Hood, I think he made a decision that was best for him. By fan, I mean he doesn't post on a message board so there is nothing binding him to the university.

He graduated in 3 years? Pretty solid.

I don't know whether he made a good decision or not, I just know it probably didn't matter. He was polished enough as a true freshman that it's clear he was going to work on and improve his game wherever he was. He basically traded a year of NBA money for the experience of being at Duke for two years. If you were going to look solely at money, he probably would have done the best simply by leaving MSU after his freshman year. Not sure how high he would have been drafted, but I'm pretty sure he would have stuck in the league. Even if he was a 2nd round pick, he woudl have had two years of second round money and then still gotten something equal or better to what his rookie contract will be this year.
