Four Nets rookies from their record-setting five-pick Draft haul made their first impressions to an anxious fan base via two games at the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas.
These games are meaningless to anyone who understands basketball. How do you gauge a player's value or skill when they're playing without 3-4 starters? This is grumpy old manspeak. I'm sorry I wasted my time reading it.
Disagree. You can see strengths and weaknesses of individual players. Steve offered some legit insights. Demin showed why the Nets have confidence he can be a league average three point shooter, but also how much work he has ahead to build strength and tighten his handle. Trarore looks like an NBA player with the ability to turn corners and get in the paint (he has shown more than Jeremiah Fears this far) but also needing to tighten his handle and get stronger so he can score more round the rim. Saraf is tough minded and can go hard to the basket but his handle is weak and his shot seems completely broken. Wolf has not shown that he can hang with NBA athletes. Still wish we would have drafted Raynaud and Fleming over Wolf and Saraf.
