Hood returned from a seven-game absence Friday due to the knee injury, but
didn’t do much to convince fantasy owners who had been stashing him that he’s
deserving of an activation just yet. He had as many fouls as points, received
fewer minutes than any other starter and was outperformed by Joe Ingles (six
points, seven rebounds and five assists in 26 minutes), who had been running
with the top unit during Hood’s absence. It may take a few games for Hood to
find his shooting touch, but even once he’s comfortable again, the Jazz’s slow
pace and typically balanced offensive attack may conspire to limit his fantasy
upside.
