It’s not so much that the Brooklyn Nets drafted by position June 26, three point guard and a point center as well as the draft class’s leading athlete. Nope. as was noted on draft night, they drafted quick-thinking players, central to their overall and apparently long-term strategy to move the ball. It’s a system that the Oklahoma City and Indiana Pacers used to get to the Finals, what many in the league call, “0’5 basketball” In that system, players either shoot it, pass it or drive it in a half second. Just don’t hold the ball. So drafting the only three players in the draft class with a six assists per 36 minutes average and the best passing big man in college ball makes sense.
Don’t call them point guards! They’re playmakers
