Well, it cant get much worse for Brandon Rush then it was last year. After tearing his ACL during the home opener of the 2012-2013 season, Rush was shipped off to the the Utah Jazz, only to come back to the Warriors a year later.

Warriors fans were rightfully excited to have Rush back in the rotation. He was someone who the team thought could provide a spark off the bench — something that was missing during the year prior.
Unfortunately for Rush, and for DubNation, the homecoming was much less than had been hoped for. Rush averaged 0.9 points on a dismal 11.1% shooting from behind the arc last year.
Now 30 years old, Rush will have to try to turn things around, maybe even fight his way into the back end of the rotation, and provide that three and D that we all know he can.
