Garuba’s numbers in the development league
As for the NBA, things haven’t gone well this season either. Usman Garuba. The man from Azuqueca de Henares ‘opposed’ a third season in the NBA thanks to an offer from Golden state heroes practically on the horn, although it is true that the place inside has been in the Santa Cruz Warriors, a developmental league team, in which Garuba has performed well, recording 13.6 points and 11 rebounds in 21 games. They are more than positive numbers, but they have not served Steve Kerr count more on him in the Warriors.
The devastating truth

Garuba came to the league thanks to the Houston Rockets, 2021 season, after being selected in the 23rd round of the draft. After a first year on horseback combining performances with the ‘G-League’ team, the man from Madrid played in full 75 games last season, but with a little less 13 minutes per game average and scoring 3 points every game.

Trained in Real Madrid quarry, Usman is still 22 years, and his whole career is ahead of him, but the player has not found that place that he wants so much in the NBA, so this summer should be. reflection about the path to follow in your career. Last year, the player was clear from the first moment, and despite the fact that the white team wanted him to return, Garuba’s desire to continue in America, aside from the subsequent offer from the Warriors, they closed the doors to a return.
The future double track
Looking forward to next season, There are unknowns and several assertions. The doubt is great if Garuba has an NBA contract again. The supposed ‘rebuilding’ in the Warriors could benefit him and give him a place on the final roster, but it is already clear that he is not a player chosen by Steve Kerr. What is obvious is that The Spanish international will not have good offers to return to Europe. Its quota status makes it particularly attractive to the Spanish market, but as happened last season, the ball is in the player’s hands.
The next challenge with ‘The Family’
no wonder, Sergio Scariolo wants to count on Garuba for the pre-Olympics at the beginning of July, the next meeting in which we see the player in action. With the season already ending around that time, it remains to be seen. if Usman decides to return to the old continent or if he continues to fight for the American dream.
