Diving into the Portland Trail Blazers roster: Rodney Hood

Days before the trade deadline, the Portland Blazers acquired winger Rodney Hood from the Cleveland Cavaliers in exchange for Nik Stauskus, Wade Baldwin, and two second-round picks (2021, 2023).

The Duke product was drafted 23rd overall by the Utah Jazz, where he built a pretty solid career. He improved every year to the point he was tallying 16.8 points per game with the squad. He was traded to the Cavs last trade deadline in a three-team deal that sent him and George Hill to play alongside LeBron James in an attempt to reload a stale roster for a playoff push.
