2. Rodney Hood

Before an Achilles tear ended his season prematurely, Rodney Hood was shaping up to be everything the Portland Trail Blazers needed.

Hood is at his best when he’s scoring the ball. In 21 games this season, Hood averaged 11.0 points on 50.6 percent shooting and 49.3 percent from the 3-point line. He was a great third scoring option alongside Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum. Had it not been for his injury, Hood would have helped push the Blazers into a higher playoff seed.

Speaking of the playoffs, he had a solid run with Portland the year before. He posted 14.7 points in the second round versus Denver and nailed 11-of-22 attempts from the 3-point line as the Blazers advanced to the Western Conference Finals.

Signing a player who is fresh off a serious injury is risky. However, Hood’s consistent shooting should make him a target for the Dubs.
