I wanted more drop last year. Clax wasn’t great at it but I have confidence in improvement with a training camp
Pick navigation becomes super important here. You’re funneling the ball handler into take 2s but this only works if they’re contested
Good news!!! Maybe there is hope for JV after all…lol
I’m glad, teams that are willing to deploy more than one type of defense seem to do better so I’m happy to hear this
This will help a little bit, but not as much as fans want. The nets still have terrible rebounding personnel. Rebounding is a skill.
Nic claxton is such a unique defensive talent that the Nets could easily get away with playing a relatively slow footed big next to him as long as he can shoot. We saw this with Blake Griffin in 20-21. Would love muscala or Olynyk as likely available guys who wouldn’t cost much.
Nice that should help us getting more rebounds
Newer nets fan here: what is drop coverage?
