As the Cleveland Cavaliers face nine more regular season games, it’ll be crucial for them to get one of their best scorers going. Rodney Hood, the 25-year-old traded to Cleveland from Utah, has dealt with both a back injury and the struggle of trying to fit in on a championship-caliber team.
For Hood, he’s been a ghost of the player that excelled for the Jazz this season.
Hood has gone from averaging 16.8 points per game to just 10.1. While that’s to be expected since he’s playing alongside two all-stars, his drop in three-point efficiency has been much more startling.
