Antoine Wright had 17 on 7-for-10 shooting, while Josh Boone and Marcus Williams had 16 points each. Boone grabbed 8 rebounds while Williams passed out 9 assists. Eric Williams, the 6'-9" forward from Wake Forest, had 11 points. All four Nets are now averaging double figures while Marcus Williams is averaging a double-double. Earl Barron led the Heat with 33 points and 15 rebounds.</div> Source
Yeah, Marcus Williams looks like a total steal in the draft. Josh Boone has also been solid, but he would be much better if he improved his free throw shooting, he's shooting like Shaq right now in free throws. Earl Barron looks a beast...
An inside player killing the Nets? No.... Boone has never been much of a defensive stopper despite having the tools. Eric Williams was just an offensive machine for Wake but not a defensive one. I'm not surprised Barron tore us up then. Not to make short of what he's done. Wright's box numbers should become consistent I hope. Marcus is looking great. Eric Williams might be nice for us..
33 points and 15 rebounds for Earl Barron is more impressive to me than any other recorded statistic for Nets players. A guy that was sent to the NBDL is really showing he wants to play.
