This is becoming somewhat concerning that he is still not in uniform. Is the knee more injured than we were led to believe? I mean, I guess there is no need to have him rush back due to the season woes, but damn, he can't progress in street clothes.

Anyone who saw that hit should be glad it’s not anything more serious that would keep him out for the season like Joe Harris last year. He looked dead as soon as he got crushed by Nene.

I thought that he easily sustained a neck injury. this is why I was livid about the play in general. sure it was within the rules but still. that was a football level collision. i hope the folks who shouted down everyone upset about that play are happy now, its nearly March and LeVert is still on the shelf. what a derailment.

i'm not going to get upset at the Nets being coy about injuries, but now I'm alarmed. both players have missed a lot of time for what seem to be minor injuries.

He had a rough end to the game with 2 guys hitting shots in his face and a bad TO but this game is exactly why some of us thought he'd be starting this year. Why I think he's the best guard on the team and why the shooting slumps never changed that.

Got to the rim at will. Ran in transition like a gazelle. Nearly shut down an all star level guard. Ridiculous Chase down block. Gorgeous passes all night. Money from 3.

I just see plus skills all across the board. and stuff you can't teach or develop.

He should be our starting PG.

Great chemistry with RHJ and Fro and everyone really. Still has flaws but It's easier to look past them if you see defensive effort and hustle... things lacking in Dinwiddie and Russell.

I agree I always wanted Caris to be our starter. Maybe we should be starting LeVert/Crabbe/Carroll/RHJ/Allen until Dinwiddie and DLo get their **** together.

No love for Alpha Dog LeVert.

This dudes potential is through the roof. How many guys can completely run the offense, get to the rim at will, AND guard the other teams best player in a game? Seriously. Not many.

Our starting guards better step it up. At some point we're gonna have to see how the starting unit runs when Caris is running the show and not just being a secondary ball handler.

There is a lot of love for A D LeVert. It is just all being expressed in the Game Thread for the Hornets game last night

this is the production most of us have been expecting from Caris & waiting for this season, but his sophomore slump has been a little underwhelming with the way things have gone for the team this season. Caris has been great these past two good games, and hopefully it carries over into the rest of the season & beyond

IMO, if the team is going to go on a solid run and end up north of 26 wins, CLV has to play very well. CLV and RHJ with some big scoring from DLo and Dinwiddie getting back some aggressiveness. But CLV tearing it up in the second unit and finishing some games is key.

Sophmore slump? He has had injuries and the team has not rushed him back. Dinwiddie needs to be rested and Caris needs to start. Nothing against dinwiddie. He has been superb for us this year. He looks like he has run out of juice. Caris has the fresher legs to finish off the season.

Anyone else think our boy looks like a 6’7 Kyrie on this possession?

Plays like this are why I think he has the most potential on the team.

Ball on a string. Hope he's good to go.

shakendfries · Post #1317 » by **shakendfries** » Sun Apr 1, 2018 3:11 am

Caris should be the Nets starting PG

Sleepyazn · Post #1318 » by **Sleepyazn** » Sun Apr 1, 2018 3:34 am

The only thing that worries me long term about LeVert is health. He gets random injuries alittle too often.

DarkXaero · Post #1319 » by **DarkXaero** » Sun Apr 1, 2018 5:15 am

Can't wait to see him next season after another offseason of improvement. If he can stay healthy, I expect next year to be his breakout season.
