Kareem Rush "drawing special interest from Houston"

Perhap he could get time at 3.I'm especially interest in him,if we aren't sign OT this summer.I think he woud fit in wellin our system and would fill Torres role for sure.

 

There was a nice SI article about Rush and his brother a few months back. It really sounded like he has his head on straight and is a well-rounded player, even if he doesn't have the mad athleticism his brother has/had. I don't remember if it said anything about his defense though.

It was kind of a sad sorry about his brother though...
He developed really early, believed in all the hype about himself and declared for the draft too early. If he had gone to college, he would probably be a good player in the NBA right now. Instead, he's still trying to get picked up, and is spending his time in developmental leagues.

 

Does anyone know how old he is? If he's about 20 or so, than that's 7 years younger than cat and we could groom him to become our starting sg in the future. He'd be like Jerry Stackhouse who didn't become an all star or even a consistent player until later in his career.


I can't believe I'm calling Cat old, he must just act like he's 16.

 

He's 22 this coming October.

 

of course freddie seems to have a pretty good 5 foot runner with 2 seconds left in a sweet sixteen game down pat. that little ****er.

 

Rush has a good offensive game, but is he a good defender? Or is he like Allen Houston in that regard too? Has anyone heard or seen what Oscar Torres has been doing this summer to improve his game?
