Above are some highlights of “the other guy” in this deal: new Nets wing Sergey Karasev, who the Nets wanted to draft in last year’s draft before he was taken by the Cavaliers with the 19th overall pick. Above is him breaking the D-League in half!
Okay, so he’s not exactly tearing through the league: he can barely get off the floor and only averaged 13.5 points and 5 rebounds per game in 18 D-League games with the Canton Charge. But: he’s a lefty shooter, which is the best kind of shooter, and hit three-pointers at a near 40 percent clip. He’s young and has real talent, which makes him a “get” in this deal.
Like Lionel Hollins said Monday morning: you can never have too many shooters.
