The Nets are coming off what might be their best three-game stretch of the season. T.J. Warren is playing the best basketball since his comeback.
Brooklyn GM Sean Marks has shown a knack for finding gems, from Joe Harris and Spencer Dinwiddie to Jeff Green on a veteran minimum. Warren is building a case to be his latest find — and arguably the biggest steal in the league this summer.
When he joins Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving as a third scorer, he makes Brooklyn’s offense almost impossible to contain. Almost exactly two years later it’s stunning to see Warren back to his best, averaging career-bests in Player Efficiency Rating, field-goal percentage, true shooting, rebound rate, assist rate and nearly every other advanced statistic.“I wouldn’t say I’m surprised,” Durant said. “What’s surprising was how good he is deflecting the basketball on defense. Scorers like him get a rap on defense, but he’s made an impact on that end. He’s a natural.
Vaughn has drilled down on defense, particularly boxing out. When he showed the players their stats in the latter area, Warren was at the top of the list.
