The Sacramento Kings are rumored to be interested in signing Rodney Hood, according to the Sacramento Bee’s Jason Jones. At first glance this seems like there are many reasons the Kings would be making a mistake signing Hood, but after giving it some thought I’ve changed my mind. The Sacramento Kings should absolutely sign Rodney Hood.
Sure, critics will tell you that he’s a shooting guard. According to Basketball Reference Hood has played approximately 79% of his career minutes as a shooting guard. The Utah Jazz, where Hood had his most success, played Hood almost entirely at shooting guard, even after losing Gordon Hayward in the offseason.
