D'moi Hodge for the record is 24 and a multi year college kid.
But in his final season he averaged 14.7 Points on 47% from the field and 40% from three on 7 attempts a game.
He patterns his game off of KCP but he is also a high volume three point shot maker. He is only one inch shorter than KCP but he is the same height as Buddy Hield.
He is proven to be a high volume solid three point shooter that does give an effort on defense, but he is very clearly a 2. Everyone that wanted Buddy Hield but one that would actually be willing to come off the bench and fill the microwave from three role.. D'Moi Hodge is your guy. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

This is basically what ya'll wanted from Hield but at 15M less.
If you want a difference between he and KCP...
KCP always struggled with finishing or efficient scoring when it was anywhere inside the three point line.
Hodge on the other hand from 2s in college averaged 52,5% on two pointers his first season, and that went up to 62.9% from 2s in his second season, and that went to 63.4% his third season.
He is a 40% on high volume three point shooting role player whom can finish inside the arc with solid efficiency.
He's more or less perfect for the role people wanted Hield for due to his high volume threes and ability to get hot, but also gives a defensive effort, like what they liked from KCP.
He's also 24 so you likely are just going to get somewhere around or slightly better versions than he is right now at his peak, but THAT is still extremely valuable if he can translate it at the NBA level. Not starter level, but definitely bench microwave. _________________ How NBA 2K18 failed the All-Time Lakers:

They would be stupid to let him go. It’s not like the Lakers are a shooting factory.
They're not going to be stupid. Hodge, just like Castleton, was a top target after the draft. They obviously had eyes on him very, very early. They're not going to let him get away after seeing him do the exact same things that he did in college.
Training camp is the next step for this young man.

He and Castleton have two-way deals so they aren't going anywhere.
I heard it said that the Lakers might feel pressure to convert Castleton if another team came calling and offering a regular roster spot, with the suggestion being that's why they converted Reaves when they did.
If we were still in the days where these players made $100k, maybe that could be a consideration, if only to keep future potential two-ways from thinking you'll block their opportunity. But iirc these guys make closer to $500k now. So if that was ever a consideration, it would seem that's done. Plus, you can trade a two-way. So if the other team is so interested, they can make a deal. _________________ Charter Member:

I don't think they can leave to another team while under a 2 way deal. Some teams sign there 2nd round picks to 2 way deals. _________________ Previously LBJ23
D’Moi Hodge Models Game After Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
Hodge is incredibly active on the floor and has a knack of knowing where to be at the right times. Just like Caldwell-Pope, Hodge is able to make plays when the team needs them and that should serve him well as he tries to stick with the organization.

it is not allowed, 2 way contract is NBA contract.

That's right, speaking from a contract perspective, and many teams would leverage that. But from a political perspective, if you've got a player making $100k (old CBA) with an opportunity to get up to NBA money and you stand in their way, good luck getting the next sought after two-way to sign. That's part of why agents largely didn't like the two-way deals. IMO they resolved that by raising the two-way pay considerably, making it far more reasonable to say no. _________________ Charter Member:

I don't think a team can even talk to a 2 way guy or offer him a contact, it would be tampering. I don't think it is like football where they can take guys off the practice squad. _________________ Previously LBJ23

We wouldn't have to stand in his way because we will pay him at the proper time just like we did w/Reaves.
D’Moi Hodge Returns Home & Is Celebrated For Becoming First British Virgin Islander In NBA
Quote:
By joining the Lakers, Hodge has become the first British Virgin Islander to be apart of an NBA team.
There seemed to be a massive turnout to welcome the newest Laker home, with even a government official announcing the monumental accomplishment with the community.

Not allowed to take 2-way contracts from teams because you are offering a standard guaranteed contract. So apparently what you have “heard said” is coming from someone that doesn’t know a damn thing about the NBA.
My advice, avoid idiots and people that pretend like they know it all. And try to pass fake information off as facts. In the end, you come off appearing to be just like them. Oh, and take two seconds to do a quick Google search to validate sh*t instesd of taking idiotic information from people as facts.
D’Moi Hodge Always Planned To Sign With Lakers If He Went Undrafted & Is Excited To Give All To Franchise
Quote:
I always had in the back of my mind, if I don’t get drafted, I’m going to the Lakers. That was my mindset heading into the draft. So, I didn’t feel no way about it and I was excited to be apart of one of the greatest franchises in the NBA, so it all worked out and turned out the way it was supposed to. I believe that everything happen for a reason, so there’s a reason I’m here and I’m happy to be here.”
