Jordan Ott & Amare will be head coaches
“Cam, his ability to create his own shot is evident at this level. He’s crafty, he’s got a bunch of fakes, he’ll be able to draw fouls,” Nets summer league coach Jordan Ott told The Post. “Obviously a really good aggressive scorer. You’re able to see it more and more each day. He’s started to feel more comfortable every day.”
“At 19 years old, you can score the basketball like that, being that skilled you can tell he’s put some time in the gym. He’s business,” said Ott. “He’s more of a quiet personality; but that’s because he’s here for basketball.”
“He’s very engaging, asked great questions, very curious on what we do in Brooklyn. … He’s here for the right reasons and you can tell right away.”
Brandon Knight will be on the Nets Summer League squad
At 29 with eight pro seasons under his belt, Knight has been passing that experience on to Thomas. He’s also suitably impressed with the rookie’s scoring touch.
“Cam, you know he can score even in this setting. You know he can score always,” Knight said. “Cam hit me with some questions, too; so that was good. I’m going to talk to him for a little bit. … I want to make these kids better. I want to help them be better.”
Jordan Ott on Day’Ron Sharpe
“Day’Ron’s physicality on both sides of the glass [is showing]. So offensively and defensive glass, you can feel it right away,” Nets summer league coach Jordan Ott told The Post. “He’s strong, aggressive, you can see his motor. So that piece is going to stick instantly, right now with us in summer league. We’re going to be able to feel him. So every day, they’re going to try to get better.”
“We switch everything 1-through-5. I’ve been trying to [show] I’ll be working on it, showing I could defend outside a little bit, as much as I can,” Sharpe told The Post. “So it’s been a little hard, though. So I’m just getting here, trying to get used to the speed of things.”
