Brooklyn Nets 2018-19 Primer: Rodions Kurucs just needs to play
The last 3 seasons for Brooklyn Nets rookie Rodions Kurucs were wrecked by injury and intrigue. The 2nd-round pick now has a guaranteed deal and, for once, a green light.
If the only thing Rodions Kurucs does for the Brooklyn Nets this season is play basketball, the 2018-19 season will have to be considered a win for the kid.
The 20-year-old small forward from Latvia has had a trying last three years with FC Barcelona, spending his 2016-17 season coming back from knee and shoulder injuries and spending last season stuck in limbo as his coaches buried him on the second-tier team or deep on the bench.
