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.
