    • Five players are competing for the backup forward spots. Clowney and Chaney Johnson have had those minutes from the start, with Danny Wolf, Josh Minott and Joshua Jefferson behind them. at 16:09
    • Rookie Joshua Jefferson, 23, missed the entire preseason. No reason is given in the episode. at 17:47
    • The host sees Jefferson as a stronger creator and passer and a bigger rebounder than Clowney. At about 250 pounds he may not guard the perimeter as well. at 17:59

  • Podcast Erik Slater, Locked On Nets · Analysis ·

    Host analysis: the Nets' drafting and acquisitions reflect a preference for big ball handlers. He names Demin, Danny Wolf, Traore, Ben Saraf, Brown and Joshua Jefferson. He says several of them (Traore, Wolf, Saraf, Jefferson) are not good three-point shooters, so the Nets are betting their shooting improves.

  • Podcast Locked On Nets host · Analysis ·

    Host's read of the Nets' vision, seen in the last two drafts: multiple ball handlers with positional size who can create. Named examples are Yegor, Nolan, Danny Wolf, Ben Saraf, Mikel and Joshua Jefferson. He says the Nets are betting on whether the shooting comes along.

    Brooklyn should have a healthier roster tonight, with only rookie first round picks Mikel Brown Jr. and Joshua Jefferson out against the #Wizards. #nba #nets

    • The host sees an offseason theme of adding size and physicality: Julius Randle, Moritz Wagner and Joshua Jefferson. He calls this a philosophical shift by the front office. at 9:30
    • The host projects Drake Powell, Ben Saraf, Joshua Jefferson, and two-way players Tyler Bilodeau and Grant Nelson out of the rotation and in the G League to start the year. at 25:16
    • Joshua Jefferson is dealing with lower back tightness and hasn't played in the first two preseason games. at 26:09
    • The host would be shocked if Jefferson is in the rotation to start the year. He notes Jefferson is 23, older than Clowney, and thinks the Nets should prioritize his minutes. at 26:14
