SAN ANTONIO – Allen Crabbe is the highest-paid Net, and he’s paid to shoot.
So far he hasn’t. And the rest of Brooklyn’s season may hinge on when he finally starts. Or if he ever starts.
“Listen, he’s struggling a little bit,” coach Kenny Atkinson admitted of Crabbe as the Nets prepared for Tuesday’s game at San Antonio. “I feel like he’s getting decent looks. I thought he attacked the rim [in the last game], which I liked. Maybe that can get him going a little more, getting to the rim.
“I don’t think he’s driving close-outs as well as he should. They’re closing out on him. He’s got to dribble, and [Saturday] he did it — he did it driving. Listen, the guy’s a 42 percent career 3-point shooter. We’re going to keep trusting him and trusting it.”
