Having spent a season now in Brooklyn, DeMarre Carroll thinks he sees something new. He believes the Nets have improved significantly from where they were at this point last season, when a good deal of the core was younger and less experienced.
“I definitely believe we got a lot better, a lot of guys, their game has matured,” offered Carroll on Monday, seven days after similarly praising Caris LeVert. “We play really hard. That’s one thing we’re going to pride ourselves on is playing hard, running, getting up and down, using our youth. Hopefully, we can take that into the preseason and build on it.
