In the Nets new line-up, Caris LeVert will be paired with Kyrie Irving in the backcourt, with Joe Harris manning the wing and Spencer Dinwiddie coming off the bench.
Can all that ball dominance work? It did last season with D’Angelo Russell and Irving is a bigger offensive threat. The head coach thinks so. Of course, he has to!
“Kyrie is a great catch-and-shoot shooter,” Kenny Atkinson said Monday. “Kyrie always tells me, ‘I’m really good off the ball, too.’ When Caris is driving, you know you have another shooter out there, so, I think it works well…I always say that I’d love multiple ball handlers, multiple downhill guys.
