Things are starting to shape up for the Nets following the Allen Crabbe trade. Although the NBA still uses the tradition 1 through 5 positions, Kenny Atkinson has borrowed Brad Stevens line and broken it down into playmakers, wings and bigs.
Playmakers are usually the most versatile - guys who can handle the rock or switch from point guard to wing depending on matchups and offensive sets. They’re the ones out there to create offense for themselves and the rest of the team.
Wings are what you hope can be your typical ‘3 and D’ guy in Atkinson’s offense.
