PHILADELPHIA — With their 3 fat males all ill, the Nets passed younger Noah Clowney a get started at middle Wednesday.
The second one-year battled — however now not plethora, roughed up by means of Andre Drummond in a 117-95 preseason loss.
“I think he did not fight hard enough. Obviously it is a great learning experience for everybody,” schoolmaster Jordi Fernandez mentioned. “There’s technicalities clearly, like the way you entrance someone, the way you push him out. It’s for sure a problem. However I might have appreciated to look a greater battle.
“And it’s just not just Noah, it’s everybody else. I can go down the line with Keon [Johnson], Ziaire [Williams], everybody, the starters. At some point, this is not about you. This is about us. And if we don’t play hard as a team, we’re just not good enough.”
With Nic Claxton and Presen’Ron Sharpe — the one two natural fat males at the roster — each out, Ben Simmons had began the primary two video games.
However Sharpe were given a scheduled evening off because the Nets lead his go back from surgical operation.
Clowney had 11 issues, 8 rebounds and two blocks.
However Philadelphia moved the spindly sophomore off the prohibit and were given into the paint. It was once a difficult lesson.
“Yeah. You gotta grow from every game. You can take the game one of two ways,” mentioned the 20-year-old Clowney. “I gotta develop from it. If I don’t develop from it after I don’t imagine. … At this degree, you’re both gonna recuperate and be told from it otherwise you’re gonna proceed the alternative means.
“The size of the person I’m going against is not what concerns me about how we played. What concerns me more is my discipline to make the right calls, get my team in the right position, make sure when I’m on the backline that my team knows what they’re doing and when we’re doing it, and just communicating better.”
Killian Hayes has ignored all 3 preseason video games now with a sore hip.
“I’d love to see him. He’s doing well. He’s rehabbing,” Fernandez mentioned. “He’s been simply operating on getting again and getting proper. And I’d like to, however we’ll assess him once we get again and notice what we will be able to do.
“We’re not going to rush him, because his health is our priority, same as every other player. So it’s no need to risk. He’s done a good job. … We have our own evaluation on him, and we’re very happy with him.”
The Nets haven’t made up our minds to fill holes with their not hidden two-way (supplementary middle, supplementary level shield) or virtue it on the most productive to be had.
“Yeah, that’s gonna be a discussion between myself, [general manager] Sean [Marks] and his team,” Fernandez mentioned. “Once we go through these games, we’ll sit down and we’ll discuss how we feel. I like the guys that have been here for now. And that’s all I can say at this moment.”
