Rookie may force Kenny Atkinson’s hand at power forward

The Brooklyn Nets have a hole at power forward.

Rookie Rodions Kurucs has shown promise in limited playing time this season, but has yet to get his real shot in the Brooklyn lineup

A surplus of young, talented guards has sparked the offense from the backcourt while second-year center Jarrett Allen and veteran Ed Davis have protected the paint, but Brooklyn needs more production at power forward if they want to compete for a playoff spot.

With Rondae Hollis-Jefferson sidelined, Jared Dudley began the season as the starter at the 4 and has held onto the role through 19 games.
