That's a good way to describe him now. But if you struggle with team schemes - it turns basically anyone into a negative on defense. His toughness also includes A LOT of dumb, untimely fouls.
I say this NO disrespect ... and I haven't watched more than a dozen Nets games this year ... but do have any complex half court defensive schemes? I see them in drop coverage a lot, and theyll play a little zone, but I dont see much else? Am i wrong?
there is nothing complex coming from Coach Nash.... give ball to Kevin and watch..... thats it. Defensively, its a sh*tshow.
Another contributing factor to JJ's release and Edwards gain is that Kessler Edwards plays at a position of weakness where he has positively added impact in the overall roster structure. We have no wings anymore. Kevin Durant is reside at the 4 spot and now sometimes 5, we have no one but undersized options to fill the wing spot gap.
