  • Down two with about 25 seconds left, Clowney inbounded the ball and the host says Randle was held by James Harden. The Nets challenged, but the refs ruled the play an unchallengeable inbound violation. at 3:31
  • In most of the first two games, Brown's second unit has been Nolan Traore, Noah Clowney, Chaney Johnson and Moritz Wagner. at 15:26
  • Host's analysis: the second unit plays Johnson at the four and Clowney at the three, with two point guards. He says none of Traore, Clowney, Johnson or Wagner shot above 33% from three last season, so there isn't enough spacing for Brown. at 15:54
  • Noah Clowney had 4 points on 1-of-6 shooting in about 20 minutes. The host is underwhelmed by his first two games. at 32:15

  • Clowney goes into the final year of his rookie contract. He will be a restricted free agent next summer if the Nets give him a qualifying offer. at 2:18

  • Clowney started 60 games last season, which the host notes was a tanking season. at 3:56
  • Last season the Nets started to improve early in the year after replacing Cam Thomas with Clowney in the starting lineup, moving to a bigger front line. at 4:04
  • According to the host, this year's front line is Michael Porter Jr., Julius Randle and Day'Ron Sharpe. Clowney is another 6'10 forward off the bench. at 4:16
  • The host says there is no area where Clowney currently impacts the game at a very high level. at 4:54
  • The host recalls that Clowney barely played as a rookie and had about three ankle sprains in his second season, which kept him in and out of the lineup. at 5:10

  • According to the host, Clowney has 166 assists and 163 turnovers in his career and does not create much for others. at 7:03

  • The host says Clowney has had 10–15 game stretches shooting 40% from three on high volume. at 8:41

  • Because Randle is starting at power forward, the host says Clowney will play fewer minutes. at 8:58

  • The host calls Clowney a hard worker with a good attitude and says the Nets like what he is about in the building. at 10:32
  • Randle and Michael Porter Jr are the starters at the two forward spots. Clowney has played both forward spots last season and this preseason. name not confirmed at 15:35
  • The second-unit lineup has been Moritz Wagner at center, Chaney Johnson at the four and Clowney mostly at the three. at 15:44

  • An open question: how long Clowney's leash will be if he struggles, given the competition at forward. at 15:16
  • The host rates Danny Wolf ahead of Clowney as a self-creator, interior scorer and passer, though still below average inside. He says Wolf shot about 32% from three as a rookie, a similar range to Clowney, and has pretty good form. at 16:14
  • The host predicts Clowney gets an extended runway of about 20–40 games to start the season. After that, if he is not performing, Wolf, Minott and Jefferson will have strong cases for minutes. at 18:31
  • The host's benchmark is that Clowney needs to shoot 35% or better from three. The biggest areas he will watch are three-point shooting, rim protection and rebounding. at 19:19
