The loudest, most common, and, truthfully, most justified complaint about the 2018-19 Brooklyn Nets roster was the glaring, sometimes downright offensive lack of a stretch 4. Kenny Atkinson’s offense is one set up to work best with pace, space, and versatile players.
Despite performing admirably, the team had a set ceiling when trotting out Rodions Kurucs, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Treveon Graham, Jared Dudley, and DeMarre Carroll to fit them into the stretch 4 mold.
What did the Nets do to address this issue? They went out and signed maybe the most stretchy 7-footer to ever play the game of basketball.
