The Nets got a good look Wednesday at what their offense would look like when their two-point-guard lineup gets reduced to one. It was disastrous.
Considering the long-term and short-term questions surrounding Ben Simmons and Dennis Schröder, the point guard position is going to be a key to the Nets’ season — from the starter(s) to the backups.
And while some might argue there aren’t any real on-court issues for a rebuilding team trying to tank for a lottery pick, remember: Organizations tank, coaches and players don’t. They try to win.
And for these Nets to win, they may need to come up with a point guard off the bench whom they can trust. Or at least quasi-trust.
