Brooklyn Nets 2018-19 Primer: Versatile Caris LeVert needs to establish his niche

Caris LeVert came to the Brooklyn Nets as something of damaged goods, but has remained relatively healthy in his two years in the NBA, showing terrific versatility along the way.

LeVert was limited to just 33 games in his final two seasons at the University of Michigan after breaking his left foot three times, dropping him to the lower middle of the first round in the 2016 NBA Draft.

The Indiana Pacers took him 20th overall and dealt him to the Nets for forward Thaddeus Young.

Since then LeVert has been able to avoid any long periods of missed time after he recovered from his last foot surgery from college and has picked up minutes at the two wing positions and last season added some point guard to his repertoire, filling in when the battered Nets were shorthanded at the position.
