ANALYSIS
After going undrafted out of Missouri last June, Hodge signed a two-way deal with the Lakers. He appeared in seven games at the NBA level during his first professional season before the Lakers waived him in January. He was traded to the Trail Blazers' G League affiliate shortly thereafter and finished the 2023-24 season with the club before joining the Spurs for the California Classic and Las Vegas Summer Leagues. The 25-year-old will now head overseas for the upcoming season, though his contract with Aris B.C. likely includes an opt-out clause that would allow him to pursue a return to the NBA, if the opportunity emerges.
