1. Rodney Hood

The Warriors need to do everything they can to acquire Rodney Hood. He has taken huge steps forward as a shot creator in recent years and can be a game-changing member of their playoff run next season.

In the last two years, Hood has made himself an offensive threat for the Portland Trail Blazers. He came up big for them against the Nuggets in last year’s playoffs, averaging 14.7 points on near 60 percent shooting from the floor and above 50 percent shooting from deep.

This year, he picked up right where he left off. In the 21 games before his leg injury, Hood was posting 11.0 points per game with a shooting clip of 51/49/78. He shot 55.7 percent on catch-and-shoot attempts and almost 40 percent on pull-ups.

There is concern about his recent injury. His torn Achilles could impact the rest of his career. Regardless, taking a chance on Hood could push the Warriors over the top next season as he acts as the perfect complimentary piece to the Splash Brothers.
