Why do the Lakers have AD out there playing alone with their B team?

His jumper looks good so far. He is shooting with confidence showing that he has been working on his 3pt shot all of offseason.
Great for Nets. He is a great role player for them.

That;s what refs do in the preseason. The things that they try to enforce during preseason, they just stop calling those once the regular season begins.

Which makes no sense at all.

Is that Claxton guy an nba caliber player? Seems like he doesn’t even know the rules on setting picks

Claxton with a terrible 1st quarter, it's a bad idea to play him next to rookies/summer league team against NBA players.

I don't get the idea of pre-season games if your starters won't even make an appearance. Might as well get rid of 1-2 pre-season games and give guys extra week of regular season with fewer back to back games.

I know he's a major binky of a few Nets fans on this site but I'm yet to see anything hype-worthy from him for myself.

Yes, he's a terrific defensive prospect but he struggles setting screens.
