With the Toronto Raptors officially trading away Norman Powell to the Portland Trail Blazers for a package headlined by 22-year-old guard Gary Trent Jr., it’s easy to forget that veteran forward Rodney Hood was also included in the deal.
Hood, a former first-round pick out of Duke, has seen his stock take a complete nosedive this season, as he averaged just 4.7 points per game on 36% shooting with the Blazers this season.
