Nets Notes: Sharpe, Rotation, MPJ, Travel
The Nets have struggled again to open 2026/27, currently holding a 3-9 record after winning 32, 26 and 20 games over the last three seasons. However, the play of center Day’Ron Sharpe has been a bright spot amid the slow start, writes Brian Lewis of The New York Post.
It’s obviously a very small sample size, but Brooklyn has a plus-4.4 net rating in Sharpe’s 284 minutes to this point and a ghastly minus-16.2 mark in the 297 minutes when he’s not playing. This is Sharpe’s first season as the team’s starting center after spending his first five years as the primary backup to Nic Claxton, who was traded to Chicago over the summer.
