“One of the guys I really mourned was Drazen Petrovic,” he said. “Drazen was a cold cat, man. His whole swag, I loved it. It was tragic that he didn’t get a chance to fulfill the promise that he had.” Today, Hodges named Los Angeles Clippers forward Kawhi Leonard as his favorite player “by far” for his all-around impact. As for today’s shooters, Hodges pointed to Golden State’s duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson as obvious picks but also expressed a fondness for Denver center Nikola Jokic and Dallas guard Luka Doncic.
