Listening to Jacque Vaughn Saturday — and Sean Marks last Wednesday — it seems quite likely that the Nets are ready to sign a big man to help out Jarrett Allen now that he is, in his own words, “the last big man standing.”
With DeAndre Jordan opting out after a positive test for the coronavirus and Nicolas Claxton out after season-ending shoulder, Allen is the lone true center on the Nets and the only player taller than 6’10”. Although Rodions Kurucs has been described as a 3-and-D wing in the body of a small ball center, the Nets will need more than that.
