Lto withdrawal of Pau Gasol and his brother’s departure Marc after playing 13 years in the League they have an abysmal void in the panorama of the Spanish in the NBA, whose imprint at this start of the season is being testimonial, when not null.
Of the six Spanish representatives slo Ricky Rubio is playing a leading role on your team, Cavaliers, in this first week of competition. Ibaka, the other Spaniard called to have an important role in the Clippers, is still convalescing from his back injury, from which he was operated in June and has not reappeared yet.
Only 17 minutes between the Hernangmez, Garuba and Aldama
Grimmer is the outlook for the other four Spanish players in the NBA, who have barely disputed among all 17 minutes after playing their teams the first three games it’s from the season.
Usman Garuba has participated in two meetings of the Rockets (1-2) leaving some clue of his quality in the few minutes that his coach has given him, Stephen Silas. He played eight in the defeat of Houston and Minnesota (124-108) contributing four points, two rebounds, one assist and two blocks. And he was on the court just six minutes into the victory over Oklahoma (124-91). He didn’t score, he gave a pass and put a plug. AND in the loss to the Celtics the 19-year-old power forward i didn’t even play.
Neither did he in that match Juancho Hernangmez, whose balance so far is reduced to three minutes in the Celtics’ loss to the Raptors (115-83). He had time to sign four points, three rebounds and three losses. Ime Udoka, at least for now, barely has him.
More worrying is the situation of his brother Willy in the Pelicans at this start of the season, in which has not played a single minute in three games. His trainer, Willie GreenHe gave him a lot of ground in the preseason, but he seems to have forgotten about him.
The rookie must also wait for his opportunity. Santi Aldama, untapped in all three Memphis games. Taylor Jenkins is not on the ball.
In its eleventh season in the NBA, Ricky has taken the title in the Cavs after being injured Darius Garland, and his campaign start is being remarkable. Average 16.7 points, four rebounds and 9.3 assists in 29.3 minutes. JB Bickerstaff, his technician, relies on the 31-year-old guard’s experience.
