<div class="quote_poster">Quoting MrJ:</div><div class="quote_post">The Nets starting off the Summer League 0-5 isn?t a good sign at all. While it is definitely wrong to start drawing conclusions, you guys should be a bit concerned with their performance ? especially Antoine Wright your 15th pick in the draft who many thought was a steal. In 35 minutes, he?s averaging 16.4ppg // 2.8rpg // 1.8apg, however, when you take into consideration he?s shooting 36% from the field and 28.6% from downtown, I would be a little concerned.</div> Well actually it is a rather meaningless sign other then the play of Wright. We dont have anyone who was on our active roster last year except Ardee Storey. And he wont be making this years team. So this Summer League is rather uninteresting and meaningless because nobody on the team will make the regular season roster other than Wright. I know Wright is surpose to play a quality role for our perimeter off the bench to add depth. But I think that if he isnt ready for a big bench role right away then it still wont make or break our perimeter because of the strenght we have out on the perimeter with RJ, Vince, even Dooling can play the 2 spot some if we acquire him. So Iam not worry that there is anything in this summer league that will make or break our year.
I think Rod is trying to find an energetic and athletic swingman like RJ was in his rookie year. Also, I think he wanted some collateral say if RJ or VC go down, cause both of them have had bad injuries in the past... Wright is better than RJ was offensively his rookie year, but things haven't been looking that great. Coupled with how much of a monster Warrick has been in his summer league, this might not panned out we wanted. I trust Rod though, he has a great mind and am ensured he knows what he is doing.
