Nets Media Week & Training Camp Thread

[Lamak]

this season will be special

[Paradise]

So from piecing together/stalking the bits and pieces of footage so far from Nets social media, the 2 main lineups in scrimmages are:

1st unit: Kyrie, Din, Harris, KD, DJ.
2nd unit: TJ, LeVert, Shamet, ? , Allen.

I honestly like Din in the starting lineup, at least to start the season because he prob fits better next to KD/KI, especially as a spot up shooter and defender. This way, it free up space for Caris to be our Manu Ginobli (as Nash has hinted at). Caris could run the 2nd unit(like he did in the bubble) and easily finish games. Plus he has so much good chemistry with Allen, those two should play together as much as possible.

Of course this could just be the lineup for one practice session

The problem with this shortened camp is that Nash doesn't have a lot of time to experiment to see what may work best. Dinwiddie is an even worse defender than LeVert so that concerns me, but on the offensive side who is most likely to knock down a catch and shoot three? Spencer.

By the way did anyone see the media day pics of the Nets? Those city edition uniforms look amazing on them.

Never want to put too much weight on media stuff but Nash is definitely saying all the right things so far. Straight up said he wasn't happy with the defense today. He obviously knows how to deal with media but it shows confidence to call the team out. Maybe it's a sign of things to come but having a coach that hammers this stuff down is really important. D'Antoni is gonna crush on offense regardless but having Vaughn / Udoka to come down on the defense is so important. He also had a great answer on Dinwiddie's value here.

Nash is a leader, so him not biting his tongue is expected.

They have got to be locked in on the defensive end. We already know we will be an elite offensive club, but if we can make a name on defense we will be hard for anyone to stop.
