His virtues and powers Jalen Hood-Schifino
Height and creation. Hood-Schifino stands out for his combination of height and skill as a play maker. He is a player who looks much more mature than his age and is extremely fluid with the ball. His 4 assists per 36 minutes doesn’t do justice to his potential as a quarterback, as he played on an Indiana team where two other players (Xavier Johnson and Trayce Jackson-Davis) averaged over 4 assists.
Pick and roll specialist. Hood-Schifino is one of the best pick and roll players in this class of 2023. For what he can provide as a passer, but also for an exquisite shot off the dribble, especially in the midfield. His turnovers of 2.2 pick and rolls per 36 minutes are nearly double the average of other draft guards (1.4). He also had very good numbers in other creation actions such as clearing (48% from the field) and hands away (Four five%). Hood-Schifino is very comfortable with the ball in his possession and has a lot of talent to take advantage of it.
Defensive flexibility. Thanks to his height, he is capable of defending multiple positions. Good rebounder for the position and held opponents to 35% on one-on-one defenses. He probably won’t be a specialist, but neither will he be a player who will be constantly exploited by his opponents.
Its flaws and weaknesses Jalen Hood-Schifino
sports restrictions. Hood-Schifino is not a particularly explosive point guard. Has height, but doesn’t finish taking advantage of it near the basket. His numbers as a finisher were very poor (43% accuracy on penetrations, 31% on plays grab and ride). He also drew few fouls. He is a player who depends on long doubles, in addition to being able to get to the paint without a good back game.
Low defense potential. His lack of athleticism also affects him defensively. Low production on steals and plugs. He shot 55% from the field when posted and was often dribbled by faster opponents. It has a low ceiling on this side of the field.
Short shot distance. Hood-Schifino’s other problem is that he’s a great mid-range shooter, but not a 3-point shooter. He shot just 33% on 3.5 3-pointers in Indiana, while a dismal 23% in grab and shoot. His success as an NBA player is probably tied to his transfer of success to the mid-range, beyond the three-point line.
NBA comparison for Jalen Hood-Schifino
A comparison that fits the Hood-Schifino game quite well is Malcolm Brogdon, as a tall point guard without much athleticism but reliable with the ball in his possession and a terrific mid-range shot. Spencer Dinwiddie is another comparable player, and there are flashes of Jamal Murray as well, but without his three-man ability.

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo He gave a harsh response to the question about a possible trade to another NBA club:
“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.
To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”
On the night of December 27-28, Antetokounmpo returned to the field after his calf muscle injury and became the most productive player of the game with the Chicago Bulls – 112:103.
