Kia Rookie Ladder:
Rodions Kurucs, Brooklyn Nets
The Nets have won seven straight, and Kurucs has started the last four. The No. 40 pick out of Latvia isn’t putting up huge numbers, but we’d be remiss if we didn’t make note of his contributions. As a starter, Kurucs has averaged 9.3 points and 4.3 rebounds in 24.6 minutes per game while shooting 52 percent. The 20-year-old’s playing time spiked with Allen Crabbe nursing a knee injury, but coach Kenny Atkinson has said he plans to stick with his “fearless” rookie. “This is a small pocket of games, but my experience says I believe this will be a season-long thing where he’s getting minutes now,” Atkinson said.
