There Nets have three rookies: Rodions Kurucs, who is looking like he has lottery level talent despite being taken at No. 40; Theo Pinson who proved on Friday that his newfound offense can transfer from G League to the Nets despite being undrafted; and Dzanan Musa their first round pick.
Musa, still 19 years old, has to be frustrated with his season so far. He’s been injured twice, both as crucial junctures in his development: He hurt his right ankle while playing for Bosnia in the FIBA Europe World Cup Qualifiers back in September, then again in December after a string of highly efficient games with Long Island, he separated his left shoulder.
