The Portland Trail Blazers were pretty clear on what they were getting when they brought in Rodney Hood before last month’s trade deadline. Hood is a relatively known quantity at this point – he’s a tried-and-true scorer who can get buckets for a team when they need them. For the Trail Blazers, that was a big part of what was missing on their bench unit, which had struggled mightily to put points up in the absence of Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum. Hood helps that situation, to some degree, though the numbers have perhaps outstripped even what Portland could have possibly expected from him in that role.
