Usman Garuba is now officially a free agent. The power forward, who was cut by the Oklahoma City Thunder, has not been claimed by any other team in the 48 hours established by league regulations, so he has left the roster. waivers and will now have the freedom to negotiate with any franchise or even consider a possible return to Europe.
The Spaniard came to the Thunder in the transfer that ended up taking Patty Mills to the Hawks, but they have decided that they do not have him even for the training camp. In this sense, the World Cup can serve as a showcase, since a good performance like the one he already had in the past at Eurobasket would help him prove his virtues at the highest level and convince a team that they deserve a chance.
These have been elusive in the NBA, because although he comes from playing 75 games with the Rockets last season, he did not average 13 minutes and signed discreet averages of 3 points and 4.1 rebounds. However, his game, more focused on defense, is not one of those that shines in statistics, but his impact on the court is usually notable and, at 21, he has the potential to continue developing and become a player even more complete.
