Insights from the Long Island Nets' G League Opening Weekend
The opening weekend for the Long Island Nets marked an important phase in Brooklyn's rebuilding strategy, featuring three first-round draft picks who experienced their initial G League games against the Capital City Go-Go. Coach Jordi Fernndez emphasized that the G League serves as a developmental platform rather than a punishment, helping players understand their growth trajectory. Among the rookies, Nolan Traore showed promise but struggled with his pace and decision-making, resulting in inconsistent shooting and turnovers. In contrast, Ben Saraf demonstrated noticeable improvement, becoming a key player and adapting well to the team?s dynamics. Danny Wolf emerged as a leader on the court, showcasing confidence and communication skills while contributing significantly in both games. Grant Nelson, while not a first-round pick, added value through his work ethic and defensive prowess, making him a strong candidate for a two-way contract. Overall, the weekend provided the Nets with valuable insights into their young talent, focusing on development and learning rather than immediate results.
