Isaiah Hartenstein was selected by the Houston Rockets with the 43rd overall pick in 2017 and so far has been unable to earn enough playing time to make a mark in the NBA. The seven-footer averaged 7.9 minutes per game last season for Houston, putting up 1.9 points and 1.7 rebounds per game in that time.
Much of Hartenstein’s basketball success so far has come courtesy of the NBA G League, as he took home G League Finals MVP honors last season when the Rio Grande Valley Vipers won the championship. In the three-game final series, the German center averaged monster numbers of 28 points, 15.
