Despite all the hype he isn't the MVP of the team and if what Hood is doing is for real he might not even be their go to guy anymore. He's better all around but Hood isn't far behind the past month. Hood is 2 1/2 years younger with a lot less experience. I'd imagine he'll be selected to compete against the Dream Team this summer and probably be part of the next group for the Dream Team extended roster. Hayward isn't far from being their 4th best player. They may have to look into trading him. They can't afford all 4 maybe not even 3.

While his defense was still valuable at times, it's impossible to keep a guy on the roster if he is such a liability on one end of the floor.
Yet Exum is hyped at every turn despite being that player before his injury.
Pleiss has struggled at both ends of the floor during his rookie season.
I thought he looked good the couple of games where he got meaningful minutes
On the plus side, the Jazz won both games he played in.
Because they were blowouts! That's why he played
Withey with a higher grade than two guys he plays behind! Hard to argue with it either. He's certainly better than Lyles right now.
The NBA is a weird animal. Coaches get far too much love when a team is doing well and way too much blame when they struggle.
pretty much
The awards: Most valuable player
Gordon Hayward
He's been healthy so I can see it but I'd have to go Rudy still.
Most improved player
Rodney Hood
I expected this from Hood. Got to go Burke.
Very few people were even sure if Withey would earn a roster spot when he came to camp, but he proved that he is much more than a third center.
I expected him to be at least the 4th big with his experience and he's arguably #3 despite being benched so Lyles can develop. He's an NBA back-up possibly a starter for some teams.
He is one of the best shot blockers the Jazz have ever had
One of the best ever.
While no one expects him to be the regular starter once Exum returns
Neto should be the starter going into fall camp. Exum should be fighting for rotation minutes. with Burke, Johnson and Ingles though I'm sure like Lyles he will play regardless. Neto is better now than Exum was a year ago.

Burks may be seen as a high price to pay for Teague (with both sides likely adding other minor pieces), who will be a free agent after next season, but shooting guard is an area of strength for the Jazz given the emergence of Rodney Hood this season.
Wouldn't call it an area of strength with Johnson and Ingles in the rotation. Too high of a price for possibly just a rental.
