Allen Crabbe is just four 3–pointers — or one hot half — away from breaking the Nets’ single-season record.
For much of his first season in Brooklyn, Crabbe’s production hasn’t matched his $19.3 million price tag. But the Nets are hoping his second-half surge will continue next season. Earning the record can only help.
“It’s cool for him, cool for the organization. Breaking a record, internally it’s good, too. Why not? You have goals to do things well,” coach Kenny Atkinson said. “Since he’s taken that green-light message to heart, his big improvement is being more assertive on both ends — hunting shots more, working harder to get his shot, and defensively I’m proud.
