The bubble has presented opportunities for many young Nets players to make a case to be on next season’s roster. For Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, he is making a case to be the Nets latest two-way success story.
His time in the “bubble” has been up-and-down. On Sunday, the 25-year-old got into early foul trouble (not the first time) and played only 16 minutes before fouling out, winding up with three points, four rebounds and two assists, hitting one of his two 3-point attempts.
Still, teams have to take TLC’s shooting into consideration. Although getting in foul trouble often, Luwawu-Cabarrot is providing a scoring punch with a 3-and-D presence, highlighted by his career-high (and Nes game high) 26 points in 31 minutes against the Bucks.
