"I like the way we're trending." Jordi Fernández finds the positives of the Nets' first two games of the season with @Meghan_Triplett.

See look what happens when MBJ and Egor play together. 😂

This rookie class is special.

Jordi Fernandez on why Mikel Brown Jr. and Egor Demin haven't played any minutes together thus far: “If you guys do your subs, like all the fantasy that you guys do, try to do it yourself. It's pretty hard to share minutes when it's on the bench, off the bench. I'm trying to work the groups and trying to have guys play together, but it's hard to do it in certain ways without breaking up the player's rhythm.” Does he expect Brown and Demin to share the court in the coming games? "I don't know. I'll try all the combinations, but again, it's harder when you come off the bench and you have a minute restriction to get all the combinations without messing up other players' minutes. Do I want to see them together? Yes. It's hard for me to predict right now. What I want is to find the right groups that can function together and be efficient."

Mikel Brown Jr.'s ideal lineup around him to optimize his game: — Mikel Brown Jr. — Ball handling shotmaker/creator — Wing that can fill the lanes/shoot — Defensive stretch 4 — Rim running big (via League Him/YT; June '26) •••
