D.J. Rodman gets DeMar DeRozan’s blessing to wear jersey No. 10 at USC
The USC Trojans men’s basketball team has a ton of new faces this season, with Isaiah Collier and Bronny James being the most notable.
Washington State transfer D.J. Rodman is another big name. He is the son of NBA legend Dennis Rodman. With both Bronny and Collier choosing their jersey numbers, now Rodman has his: No. 10.
However, Chicago Bulls star and Trojan legend DeMar DeRozan gave Rodman his blessing to wear the jersey even though that number is retired at the Galen Center. It was and is a classy move.
Rodman is just one of a notable number of players to come to USC, although they lost some talent with Drew Peterson leaving for the NBA’s Miami Heat and Reese Dixon-Waters going to San Diego State.
Nonetheless, the Trojans team has a lot of talent, and Rodman should be a significant contributor after an impressive run with the Cougars. Now, he gets to wear DeRozan’s number, which is quite the show of respect from the NBA All-Star.
