DETROIT — After months of going against each other in the gym, the Nets are convinced they have improved individually.
Wednesday, they start trying to prove they have grown as a team, when then open the regular season against the Pistons.
“It’s definitely a lot of excitement, a lot different than the preseason,” Caris LeVert said. “They’re real bullets now, so can’t wait to get going tomorrow and have a great start to the season.”
The rising young wing has drawn raves from teammates, coaches and scouts as the most improved. And the revelation Tuesday that DeMarre Carroll was having ankle surgery all but assured LeVert of a spot in the lineup for the indefinite future.
