We talked to college basketball expert Kevin Sweeney of Sports Illustrated about USC basketball. When discussing D.J. Rodman’s role on the Trojan roster this coming season, Sweeney was clear in pinning down the forward’s role:
“I think it’s three and D as much as anything,” Sweeney began. “He shot it a little better than I anticipated he would last year. To make over 50 threes at a 38% clip is a big-time 3-point shooter in college basketball. If that translates again, he’ll be really good. We will look back and say that was an undervalued addition to this USC roster to get a guy like that a little on the later side in the portal. The thing that stands out when you look at D.J. just analytically, he’s always been a very efficient player. He doesn’t need to take a ton of shots to impact the game offensively. Again, that’s something USC really needs, right?”
