Trendon Watford plays with nice control. Such an interesting player.
Has the size of a big (6’8″, 237 lbs) with the ball handling of a guard, but probably not a good enough shooter to play on the wing.

The Nets look disjointed offensively to start this one.
It’s clear how important Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson will be to making spacing work with Ben and Clax. Both command tons of attention as catch-and-shoot threats.
