In the midst of a rather disappointing, underwhelming campaign such as this for the Brooklyn Nets, bright spots such as Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot can help numb the pain. He plays with high intensity, has no problem getting up in the grill of premier offensive talents such as James Harden or Luka Doncic, and has shot the three-ball with impressive efficiency.
Locking him up to a multi-year deal makes sense for two main reasons.
Firstly, it’s never a bad thing to have a lengthy, three-and-D type stowed away on your depth chart. And secondly, the deal aids the logistics of any possible trade this summer.
