Might as well give this guy some minutes. Napier will chuck us out of games

Musa and Trent Jr. are two of the youngest players in the G-league and they're tearing it up.

Re: ***The Official Musa Thread***
I would much rather have Musa handling the rock over Napier.
Considering Dinwiddie will be out for another month or so... Unleash Musa!

Re: ***The Official Musa Thread***
yeah watching him in garbage time, he looks much bigger than early in the season. One injury free off season and he could be a legit secret weapon for us

Re: ***The Official Musa Thread***
Any chance we can bring him out west for this road trip? He has been playing some good ball. He could bring some fresh energy. Whilst giving some others a much needed rest.
Just a thought

Honestly, they should but they won't. He's inexperienced and likely prone to mistakes. Every time there's been injuries and we needed a call up it's been Pinson, not Musa.
But if our slide continues? I hope they give him a shot. We are badly needing another playmaker right now.

Re: ***The Official Musa Thread***
i think two most important segments of his game are ability to create his own shot and create plays for others
those things are important, but his confidence, fearlessness and competitivnes are the things that will make him succeed in the nba... hes shooting 35.3% from three point line on 6.5 attempts per game... he was never known for his shot, but i think his shot started to improve while he was still in europe and now hes working on his shot with pablo prigioni
hes natural scorer, so the only thing he needs is to bulk up... be patient brooklyn fans, be patient!

I'm sad he won't be able to contend for ROY next season since he played 8 garbage time games this year

It's unfortunate that he got hurt just as our backcourt got depleted after Spencer's injury. That would have been his chance to show he belongs.Dzon Dilindzer wrote:

Musa is playing and that's great... a big plus in this G League era of the NBA. Hopefully Musa continues to progress and grow into next season.

Re: ***The Official Musa Thread***
Yeah it's a shame Musa was not integrated into this group since I think he is good enough to be part of the rotation, specially when guys were out injured throughout the season. Still, spending time in the G-League will help him grow as a player/person and should be even better next season. We don't need Napier.

Re: ***The Official Musa Thread***
hi guys, im waiting for upcoming free agency as much as any brooklyn nets fan, cause it could determine future of dzanan musa on this team... if brooklyn brings in a small forward, lets say either kevin durant, tobias harris or jimmy butler, what would the rotation be on shooting guard and small forward positions
obviously, caris levert and one of these free agents would start at those positions, so which players would be backups... will joe harris backup levert or someone at small forward... if he backups levert, then i dont see minutes for musa, but if he backups someone at small forward, then musa should be backup for levert i would assume
of course, that brings another questions, what about taurean price and rodions kurucs who are both small forwards, would they play at power forward
after all, youre the fans of this team, so you know better than i do and i would appreciate some info

Musa will most likely back up LeVert at SG this season.
Most likely, the Nets will use Prince and Kurucs at PF.
Don't fret my dude, Musa will get his shot. Believe me, we're waiting for his turn because the guy can ball.

Re: ***The Official Musa Thread***
before the draft, i was hoping nets or hawks will land musa cause they were rebuilding teams and i believed he would get chance there, which cannot be said for some playoff teams that could have drafted him like spurs, blazers, utah jazz, pacers...
but in just one season, a lot of good things happened to the nets, they became playoff team, dangelo, dinwiddie and levert improved a lot, and some other players of course, like allen, harris, kurucs showed he has potential
so if musa was on this years draft, im not sure i wouldve wanted him on this team, cause theyre good and they have two max slots... of course, i appreciate the nets culture, coaching staff, front office, just a great place for young players
i know what happened to the nets in the past and i know this front office is much, much better and they will give a shot to any player if he has some potential... they did that with dinwiddie, dangelo, harris, levert, kurucs, so its only logical they do the same with musa... i think thats thankfully to what billy king did (at least something good came for that guy - learn on your own mistakes)
cant wait to see dzanan in summer league, heres hope he has a good one!

ill admit i didnt watched nets regularly, but i watched some games
if im not mistaken, nets used some small forwards at power forward position this past season... demare carroll i think, maybe kurucs too... now dudley is gone, so is carroll, so its only logical some small forwars will have to do it again and you said it will be kurucs and prince... i guess nets play more of a position-less basketball
man i hope dzanan backs up levert, that would be great opportunity for him... he can play, no doubt, potential is there, mentality is there, i just hope he gets stronger and bigger... just live in the gym until off-season begins and then some
