Utah Jazz Forward Rodney Hood Putting Work In
By all accounts, Utah Jazz wing Rodney Hood had a pretty successful rookie campaign in 2014-15. After falling prey to plantar fasciitis for much of the season’s first half, the former Duke Blue Devil rebounded to become a scoring machine for the Jazz.
Not one to rest on his laurels, Hood is already hard at work at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida. His objective: to remain in game shape throughout the summer.
Over the course of the season’s final two months, Hood looked the part of a bona fide starter in the NBA. In 21 games during March and April, Hood averaged 13 points per game on 47-percent from the floor overall and 39-percent from three-point range.
