Brandon Leray Rush (born July 7, 1985 in Kansas City , Missouri ) is an American basketball player who is currently under contract with the Minnesota Timberwolves in the NBA .
Career
college
Rush played college basketball for the University of Kansas . In his freshman season (his first season at that college) there, he started every game as a small forward . He was able to record 13.5 points and 5.9 rebounds this season and became the first freshman ever to be elected to the First Team All-Big 12. The next player to do that was Kevin Durant for the Texas Longhorns. He would have competed in the 2007 NBA Draft , but injuries kept him from doing so. So he stayed in Kansas. After his return to the starting five after injury, he and his team won the NCAA Division I Basketball Championship title in 2008.
NBA
In the 2008 NBA Draft , Rush was drafted 13th by the Portland Trail Blazers , so selected to be traded to the Indiana Pacers for Jerryd Bayless and Ike Diogu together with Jarrett Jack and Josh McRoberts .
On December 19, 2011, Rush was traded for Louis Amundson to the Golden State Warriors .
On August 1, 2012, Rush extended his contract for two years.

On July 10, 2013 he was transferred to the Utah Jazz together with Richard Jefferson and Andris Biedrins . In Jazz, however, Rush could not build on his performance from Warrior times and left Jazz after the end of the season.
He then signed again with the Golden State Warriors a two-year contract, with which he won the title in the 2014/15 season.
