Caris LeVert is struggling offensively. It may or may not be the beginnings of a sophomore slump, but there’s no doubt that he hasn’t quite been himself yet this season ... at least on offense.
But as Monday night proved, those offensive numbers don’t tell the whole story. No doubt, they’re disappointing and Kenny Atkinson sat him in favor of Allen Crabbe. Through 10 games, LeVert is shooting 36-for-107 (33.6 percent) from the field and 9-of-43 (20.9 percent) from deep. Including the Nets’ win over the Suns, LeVert has only shot over 36% twice this season, and has only made 13-of-47 from the field over his last five.
