    Yes, Kurucs is a 6-9 PF. Have not watched any Nets games, only seen him play a few minutes in the past.

    Rodions Kurucs

    Last year averaged:
    4.6 pts
    3 rbs
    1.1 asts
    14 mins
    36.7% from 3 at 1.8 attempts per game

    Rookie year averaged:
    8.5 pts
    3.9 rbs
    .8 asts
    20.5 mins
    31.5% from 3 at 2.9 attempts per game

    Hasn't seen the court much this year.

    Seems like he has a shot and can produce a little when given minutes. Decent prospect, but not getting my hopes up.

    Exactly. Which would have freed up a spot to sign back Green and kept Bruno for depth. When Cousins gets ejected again or he can’t play a back to back people will cry about the Rockets with no big and can’t rebound or defend. At least Bruno could do those two things which we desperately need.

    Kurucs looks pretty decent. Size, 3-pointer, athletic. I guess the main question to ask though at this point is, how many years away is he from being 2 years away?

    Someone tell the organization, Bruno was only looking for food.

    Let's not go there again. He has low IQ, low energy and doesn't put in the work. Nor is he physically strong.

    You just described Kurucs and DJ Wilson.

    But neither have Bruno's familiarity with Rockets system, rim protection (7'7 wingspan), switch ability, show and go or 3P%.

    I'm just proposing a stint with the Vipers, it's not a big deal.
