Brooklyn Nets’ Jarrett Allen, Rodions Kurucs to play in Mtn Dew Ice Rising Stars game

The Brooklyn Nets are one of the best stories of the 2018-19 season. A team that was long forgotten by the national media is now resurfacing as one of the most exciting teams in the NBA. Second-year center Jarrett Allen, 20, and rookie swingman Rodions Kurucs, 20, are huge reasons for Brooklyn’s success this season.

Allen came on for head coach Kenny Atkinson in the second half of his rookie season. In his second year, Allen is becoming infamous for his jaw-dropping blocks.

Allen has his fair share of highlight-reel blocks, but he’s more than just a clip on SportsCenter’s Top 10 plays.
