2021 Fantasy Outlook
Garuba went to the Rockets with the 23rd pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. The 19-year-old has been a pro overseas since 2017-18 -- all with Real Madrid. Last season, he saw 17.2 minutes per game and averaged 4.7 points and 4.6 rebounds. His primary skill is on-ball defense, and he can guard multiple positions. Garuba has also shown some passing upside, notably dishing 2.2 assists in 18.4 minutes per game in 2018-19. His three-ball is a work in progress, hitting just 31.5 percent of his looks with the Real Madrid parent club, and he might not have much room for growth since he's also shot just 59.8 percent from the charity stripe. Ultimately, Garuba's path to NBA minutes appears to be as a defensive and rebounding specialist with some minor upside as a facilitator in certain situations. As a rookie, he might struggle to find consistent minutes given the Rockets' solid forward rotation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Heading back to European leagues?
Garuba is being linked with a potential return to Europe ahead of the 2024-25 season, according to Johnny Askounis of Eurohoops.
ANALYSIS
Garuba has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, and that might be the best path for his career right now. He's had stints with the Rockets and Warriors at the NBA level, but he spent most of the 2023-24 season in the G League and was unable to dominate. The 22-year-old could very well head to back to Spain with an eye toward returning to The Association once his game matures even more.
