It's not until Rush casts his first pregame jumper that you notice his lack of timing. His legs show little spring, and his shot is more of a throw than a fluid stroke. The first half ends with Rush sitting in the same seat he took after the national anthem. He looks nervous and out of place. As Rush flits about the court in search of his man and some sort of rhythm, a member of the media sitting along press row is asked what he thinks of Rush's game.
Rush plays only seven minutes, scores two points, and picks up two rebounds and two fouls.
Though with the Stars since the opening game this season, he's played only in this game. He did not leave the Stars' bench in the three games following his two-point performance against the Knights. I'd love to see him out there. It's just a time frame now that I think he's going to have to pay his dues. Hopefully, things will work out for him.
