In Friday’s 124-107 win over the Hawks, Dorian Finney-Smith enjoyed by far his best game since arriving from the Mavericks as part of the Kyrie Irving trade.
Dorian Finney-Smith finally broke out as a Net, and perhaps unlocked a valuable new lineup in the process., he enjoyed by far his best game since arriving from the Mavericks as part of the Kyrie Irving trade.Finney-Smith entered having scored 6.4 points per game and was shooting just 31 percent from the field and a lowly 26 percent from 3-point range in 22 games as a Net as he struggled to get acclimated to his new team.
Normally, backup center Day’Ron Sharpe would fill those minutes while starter Nic Claxton rests, but Vaughn now seemingly has a new alternative.“When I go to the five I just try to use it as an advantage, especially my energy,” Finney-Smith said after the game. “I can get up and down the court fast and I can guard one through five. It just gave them a different look.
Finney-Smith arrived along with Spencer Dinwiddie, a first-round pick and two second-round picks as part of the deal, as the Nets sent Markieff Morris in addition to Irving to the Mavericks.
