Rodney Hood, Jazz unlikely to agree on extension

Utah Jazz guard/forward Rodney Hood is unlikely to come to terms on an extension with the team, according to sources of The Salt Lake Tribune.

What It Means:

This means the 2017-18 campaign will be a contract year for the future restricted free agent. With Gordon Hayward no longer the star of the show in Utah, Hood will have an opportunity to prove his worth this season. He turns 25 on Friday.

numberFire's models project Hood to average 14.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, 2.1 assists, and 2.0 3-pointers in 28.4 minutes per game this season while making 42.6 percent of his shots from the field.
