4) Rodney Hood
Rodney Hood hasn’t missed a step from his strong finish to last season. He was lights-out in the game against the Thunder, leading the Jazz in points. During preseason, he looked like a more mature scorer, using his body to create space for open shots. It seems as though he learned a lot from his rookie season in the NBA.
Finishing third on the team with 12.3 points per game in the preseason, Hood is proven as a player than will be a dangerous weapon for the Jazz regardless of whether he starts or come off the bench in the upcoming season.
