We don’t know the Nets plans for Cliff Alexander, Long Island’s 6’9”, power forward (emphasis on the power) or R.J. Hunter, the 6’6” shooting guard (emphasis on the shooting), but two once again showed Friday night that they may be too good for the D-League.
The two combined for 55 points in Long Island’s 125-113 loss to Delaware, the 76ers’ affiliate in Newark, DE. Alexander, who the Nets traded for at the end of January, finished with 30 points and 16 rebounds in 38 minutes while Hunter, who the Nets signed that same month, went for 25 points and eight assists.
