Mikel Brown Jr. and Nolan Traoré are electric. Both are averaging 12 points, but producing in different ways. Nolan has a 62% true-shooting percentage and is shooting 48.3% from three, while Mikel leads the pair with 4.0 assists per game. Against Charlotte, they combined for 34 points on 59% shooting and 50% from three. Mikel’s efficiency remains a work in progress as he’s got just 47.5% TS this season, but his flashes suggest legitimate star upside, while Nolan already looks capable of becoming a quality starting point guard. Jordi Fernandez MUST seriously explore them together instead of treating both as part-time options. #NetsWorld

They’re probably going to fake a Nolan slight injury like minor calf strain to do it. They never want to just be honest

Wolf might need a 30 min role going forward he really does connect things

The Nets ran the SAME PLAY for MPJ 5 straight times in the 4th quarter. Scored every single time. Three straight 3s for Michael Porter Jr led to a triple team and a wide open layup for a teammate - 26 points - 10 rebounds - +17 The best off ball player in the NBA

The evolution of big men has been fun to watch Just look at Danny Wolf, who stands at 6’10” but has the fluidity and movement of a guard

Jordi Fernandez said he was planning to put Julius Randle back in to close last night's game, but Randle said to keep the same five in after the Nets went on a run: "I called [Julius] to sub in, and then we [extended the lead] to 10 or 11 points, and he tells me to just let them roll... A vet of Julius' [caliber], how important he is to us; I think that was huge."

Still can’t believe this Mikel pass from yesterday. Wizardry

Mobley or Jarrett Allen
