During an 11-game stretch that bridged January and February last season, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson was out with a strained groin. The Nets suffered too, winning only one game (surprisingly against Philadelphia) while RHJ recovered.
For the most part, the Nets used a gerry-built line-up that featured two stretch-4’s, Quincy Acy and Dante Cunningham, at power forward with Cunningham even playing a little 5! They were decidedly out of place and over and over again, the Nets got killed on the boards and on defense.
Maybe it was Kenny Atkinson begging Sean Marks to find him legitimate big men but in the midst of clearing cap space and adding draft picks, Marks signed Ed Davis to the $4.
