Official Caris LeVert Thread

The Nets really don't play around with injuries so I don't expect any rushing back.

He just finished his first full practice which means he's basically good to go. From here, it's just about how his body responds and recovers from the practice. Usually we require one full practice + recovery before we let them play. LeVert might go through 2 but I think there's a chance he plays Friday. If not, Monday is probably worst case scenario if there's no set backs. They wouldn't let him go through a full practice if he wasn't good to go.

If the NEts think Caris is ready then im 100000% confident he is ready. they are super consevartive with injuries like you said. I also expect him to be looking at 12-18 minutes a night for a good 1-3 weeks before he gets back to his typical 30-ish minutes and I have 100% faith Kenny wont let score/losses influence playing levert more early on

All y'all in NY area needs to give him a loud ovation when he checks in

I'm interested to see how Russell is used now that levert is back.

Edit: posted the same time as post above..lol

LeVert will have heavy minutes restrictions for a while. Not much will change. DLo & LeVert played very well together. Things don't really get interesting until Dinwiddie is also back. That's when the crunch time debates will creep back up. Kenny obviously likes LeVert's & Dinwiddie's ability to get to the rim in the closing minutes, and you pretty much have to have at least 1 sharpshooter (Joe or Crabbe) on the court. It'll probably be a hot hand approach at the end of games.

I don't expect him to get much minutes until after the asb. Probably will come in as the 3rd PG (given as how Russell and Napier have this portion of the game where they sub in and out after like...2-3 minutes just to get a breather)

Possible small ball to end close games:

DLo
Dinwiddie
LeVert
Harris
Allen

I'm not sure we will go that small. Final possession maybe, but not for minutes at a time. There's not enough rebounding or defense.

It looked better when Theo Pinson did it on the sidelines.

Expectations for minutes played tonight?

15 minutes... who's taking the over / under on that?

(fwiw, Crabbe had 13 against the Nuggets)

NetsJets · Post #1755 » by **NetsJets** » Fri Feb 8, 2019 4:52 pm

15 minutes or so. The question will be who’s minutes will be cut? Napier?

From your lips to Kenny's ears.

Napier minutes should go down with Caris return

Napier and Graham should logically see their minutes reduced now that LeVert and Crabbe are back...HOWEVER...Graham imo has earned his time and should continue to play

Kurucs minutes should go down he's running on fumes.

Rodi's minutes have been trending down since Rondae's return. Won't surprise me if he starts to lose more minutes
