Newly signed Nerlens Noel made the most of a makeshift lineup and a golden opportunity Thursday night in the Nets’ 118-113 win over the Bucks.
The Nets played without starters Nic Claxton , Spencer Dinwiddie and Cam Johnson , as well as minutes leader Royce O’Neale., made his first start with his new team and fourth of the season.
“He’ll continue to learn conceptually what we want to do on the defensive end, and we’re switching back and forth between defenses, you know, so you got to turn your brain on and off and back on again. So that challenge is what’s ahead of him.”Noel went scoreless in 18:08, but had six rebounds, three assists, a steal and a block.He can provide much-needed veteran size backing up Claxton, but the Nets can only sign him to a second 10-day deal before they must decide whether to keep him.
“I just look at the overall big picture that they need me to help, they need me in this backup five position to help them win, and I’m fully taking on that challenge and opportunity. It’s not my first time or my second time, so I take it all in and stay ready.” “[Noel’s] ability to still get to the rim, to screen and put some pressure on the rim is huge for us,” Vaughn said. “He has a good IQ of how to screen, how to get out of those situations. I’ll be interested to see if we can get him the ball in the pocket and he can spread it and find shooters. So still trying to figure out where he’s at, just how many minutes he can play.”
