Defense the Key for Hood’s Playing Time?

Jon Hood has seen very limited playing time since he has been at Kentucky.

He also had a run of bad luck when he tore his acl in practice at the beginning of last season.

What can Jon Hood do to get playing time on another talented Kentucky team?

Play defense.

[I][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Georgia]Hood’s defense is the area of his game that needs the most work. He has to improve his ability to defend the ball consistently. Cal’s defensive motto is “maul the ball”. Hood will have to get with the program or he won’t get on the floor much. He has plenty of time to improve. One problem he has had is a lack of confidence. He looked as if he was thinking too much about what to do as opposed to just getting after it. Wiltjer has also struggled on defense. If he is in the game, Hood may have to sit as Cal may not be able to tolerate another weak defender in the game. Hood can avoid this with improvement.
