On Friday, vs the Magic, the Nets unveiled something new: Caris LeVert, that already versatile star of the Bubble Nets, was working out of the high post. Jacque Vaughn had not put LeVert at the 5 during scrimmages. So was this something Vaughn had hidden from view, hoping to unleash it during the eight seeding games?
“Definitely, purposefully done. Something that Caris has been working and something that we did not show in the scrimmages leading up to those games,” he said “As a team we have worked on the ability for him to get to a sweet spot and be one bounce away from the rim, but also once bounce from getting to a mid-range shot that he’s very comfortable in.
