Three seemingly random moves stretching from early July to mid-September that at first take seem very un-Nets-like. They don’t take 3-pointers ... among the three, they’ve made two in their career, both by Faried. They don’t score much either. None has averaged 10 points in a season. They certainly don’t qualify as “position-less” either. They’re unapologetically bigs.
Each does one thing well: rebound with a flourish, a huge Nets problem last season. With them, Brooklyn isn’t going to rely on undersized players like Quincy Acy or Dante Cunningham to back-up Jarrett Allen and Rondae Hollis-Jefferson.
