NOTE: Rogers' name is spelled without a D, so it should be fixed in the game.
STRENGTHS:
Rodney Rogers was a role player in the NBA averaging careers of 11 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 2 assists. He was a servicable shooter from outside averaging just a hair under 35%, but not outstanding. He was a decent rebounder for the SF position, especially on the offensive glass, but undersized at PF. He made up for his height with his big size and strength, but this didn't make him a plus defender.
WEAKNESSES:
A good search came up with several forum results linking Rogers to a foxsports article placing him on the NBA All NO-Defense Team, which isn't a good sign. Unfortunately the original article cannot be found. We'll assume that means man to man defense, and as a help defender at SF/PF he was okay but nothing spectacular, averaging around 1 steal and 0.5 blocks in 25 minutes. He turned the ball over on 15% of possessions he handled, which is high, but he could dish it a bit, averaging around 13% assist rate.
SIGNIFICANT INFO:
1x 6th man of the year, 1x McDonalds All American, 1x AP All American (2nd)
