Rookie Tales ... with Alec Burks

Cleveland's Soft-Spoken Swingman Recalls His Freshman Campaign in Salt Lake City

Rodney Hood spent most of his first four seasons in the NBA with the Jazz after being drafted out of Duke.

When he arrived, Alec Burks was already into his third with Utah after being tabbed with the 12th overall pick of the 2011 Draft – just a few selections after the Cavaliers snagged Kyrie Irving and Tristan Thompson near the top.
