Siblings
DJ Rodman has two siblings named Trinity Rodman and Alexis Rodman. His sister Trinity Rodman is also a successful athlete, and plays as a forward for the Washington Spirit of the National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL). She also plays for the United States women’s national soccer team.
Trinity got selected in the 2021 NWSL College Draft and became youngest drafted player in NWSL history, while aged 18.
DJ Rodman career and stats
During his freshman season at Washington State, DJ rarely received any playing time. However, he got more playing time following Tony Miller’s ankle injury. He averaged around 1.7 points and 1.9 rebounds per game in his freshman season after the COVID-19 pandemic cut short the season.
As of the 2021-2022, which was his junior season, Rodman Jr. averaged 4.2 points and 4.1 rebounds per game. Meanwhile, in his current senior season, he has started 17 games and has so far averaged 9.6 points and 5.6 rebounds per game.
Based on his career stats, DJ has an overall field goal percentage of .404 and an average of 4.9 PPG. This is across 98 appearances, and he has also averaged 3.7 rebounds, 0.8 assists, and 0.6 steals per game.
Just recently, DJ Rodman scored 11 rebounds and 13 points, which is his first double-double of the season and the second of his career. He also has a .350 in 3-point field goal percentage and a .740 free throw percentage.
While his net worth isn’t known, his father Dennis Rodman is a retired American professional basketball player, actor and political diplomat who has a net worth of $500 thousand dollars.
Room for improvement
Although DJ Rodman shows a lot of promise and stands almost two meters tall, he still has room for improvement. Rodman still needs to work on various aspects of his game like tenacity, defensive work, and overall physicality.
Rodman is very different from his father Dennis Rodman as a player as shown in his statistics. Moreover, he needs to improve his shooting skills in order to become an NBA prospect. Since he is currently 21 years old, he had the option of trying out for the NBA draft since 2021.
However, DJ has instead chosen to train harder and work on improving his game. DJ is unlikely to play at the same level as his father did but still has potential to become a decent NBA player.
