Stretch bigs continue to expose Brooklyn’s biggest weakness

Brooklyn’s frontcourt issues are beginning to sound like a broken record, where the same tune is repeated over and over because of a defect in the product.

Sound about right?

The Nets entered the season with only three players taller than 6’8” Timofey Mozgov, Tyler Zeller and rookie Jarrett Allen. Zeller wasn’t signed until September 11 and Allen is the second youngest player in team history. We knew they would try and play small-ball lineups to utilize their weapons out on the perimeter… the way “modern” basketball is being played.
