Hood in every part of the game, and yes he could play sg if a team wanted him too. He is better with dribble/drive than Hairston, and he finishes better at the rim. As far as shooting goes, Hood is posting better numbers as a sophomore than Hairston did last year as a sophomore. Then you have personality/character which obviously goes to Hood.

Sophomore years

Hairston .431 fg% and .396 3pt.%

Hood .474 fg% and .436 3pt.%

Steven Jackson with the same body type not nearly the athleticism or defensive mentality played SG for us.

So why can't Hood?

 

He could but he is a SF. Why would I want him to play anything other than his natural / best position? 

 

This doesnt have anything to do with positions but Hood doesnt strike me as a tough guy. When the game gets physical he seems to fade imo. 

 

Regardless ill take PJ at SG over Hood. Id also take McDerm over Hood as far as SF's / PF's go. 

 

If both players are off the board I wouldnt mind Hood.

Same can be said for PJ who also can swing from SG/SF heading. And their is no way in hell i'd take McDermott over either one of them. That sounds like another Adam Morrison over Gay and Roy move. We've made that mistake already.

I think McDerm is a much better NBA prospect than Morrison. McDerm can be a stretch 4 as he has a better body and a better rebounder than Morrison. 

 

PJ is actually projected later than McDerm. My perfect draft would be getting PJ and McDerm. Obviously that is with the conviction McDerm will be a solid NBA player and not a bust like Morrison.

McDermott is a 6'8 to 6'7 SF in the nba with no athleticism. He will be a mismatch problem on DEFENSE and have a hard time getting his shot off.

McDermott at best is a bench player/journey man in the Nba. Wally Serbeack was a better prospect and how that work out.

Wally didnt have the complete offensive game imo as McDerm. 

 

Guess we will have to revisit this topic during next season.

Wally had a very nice career and even made an all-star team... If we were guaranteed that player with the Portland pick we'd be foolish to look away.

McDerm wont be available with the Por pick. I am praying PJ or LaVine will be though.

Agreed he won't be there, I have doubts that LaVine would be there either should he declare (I think he returns). Hood too, but PJ might be there.

      Panthers bring in DT Walter Nolen for 30-visit

      Exactly. Exposes the whole defense. Dude thinks anyone can be Aaron Donald or something

      DONOVAN EZEIRUAKU at 8?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      While we're talking a fresh prospect that I happen to be a fan of, might as well get on a soapbox: Point 1 - He is not undersized by any means, his length is far above the mean His wingspan is in like the 85th percentile. An interesting note - his wingspan is 5 inches over Khalil Mack, 2 inches over Will Anderson's.  Only 1/2 inch away from the no-production yet size hyped 6'5 267 Shemar Stewart's. For comp - Ez's is around 83", arm length 34".  For NFL comp, the mean for wingspan is 80" and arms 33.5" at for starting EDGE defenders.  So it's not just my isolated comparisons. Point 2 - He isn't just a flashy "pass rush specialist" His film (and testing) shows elite quickness, hand work, and ability to play with the heads of OTs that normal prospects don't grasp. (see my prior post) Testing wise, one of the fastest 3-cones and short shuttles for an edge in years.  Fastest this year for both -- and those two drills are the ones teams look at for pass rushers, usually very indicative of success.  His quickness is off the charts. He's a guy that played well, showed well to those casually watching and those film-studying.  Then he goes out and tests well to back it up.  Apparently interviews super well.  So, I think it's all about his capacity/potential as a run defender.  That's really what it comes down to.  Can he be a 3-down guy or is he a specialist?  I see a 3-downer, his run defense is better than given credit for. A breakdown Ez vs. the NFL mean Arm Length: 34" vs. 33.5" (over) Wingspan: 83" vs. 80" (over) 3-Cone: 6.94 sec vs. 7.23 (WELL over, 95 percentile) Short Shuttle: 4.19 vs. 4.424 (over) Height: 6'2 1/2 vs. 6'3 (slight under) People look at the height a smidge under 6'3 and take that without considering the rest.   I think with Ez, it all comes down to what teams think his run defense upside is.  All it takes is one team - if they think he can become more that a passing down guy, then he could go high.  But if guys like Nik Bonitto and Haason Reddick can turn into these all-arounders, I don't see why this kid can't either who has higher pedigree and better measurables. Now, I prefer Graham, Walker inside, Will Johnson, Barron, and some others over him, but once we're in this tier outside of the top guys, I find the argument way more compelling for Ez over a Mykel Williams or Shemar Stewart.

      Well if we’re bringing this guy with character issues in for a visit why not consider Mike Green at 8!?
