It seems like Jarrett Culver is starting to find his footing in the NBA after a slow start to his rookie season. Wednesday night, the Lubbock native and arguably the best player in Texas Tech basketball history made his first career start in the NBA for the Minnesota Timberwolves scoring 15 points, dishing out seven assists, and pulling down five rebounds a 137-121 loss at Memphis.
This quality showing was Culver’s second double-digit scoring output in the last three games. Two games prior, the No. 6 pick in this summer’s draft put up a career-high 20 points in a win over the Washington Wizards and on Monday had 8 points in 24 minutes off the bench in a loss at Milwaukee.
