Rodions Kurucs is a European who projects positively, yet witnessed a dip in his stock this past past year. This is mostly due to a decision he made this past season. Last season the small forward ended up withdrawing from the 2017 NBA Draft because he no doubt recognized getting out of his contract with Barcelona would preclude his play Stateside.
In response, Kurucs elected not to re-up his contract with his Spanish team so he could be eligible for the 2018 NBA Draft. This resulted in him being nailed to the bench. It was a typical power play by his club.
