The more the Nets see of Goran Dragic, the more they are reminded why they wanted him in the first place — and perhaps why they might need him more than they realized.
did not end up propelling the Nets to a winThe point guard did not have the greatest impact on the Nets’ loss to the Mavericks — a former Nets point guard, Spencer Dinwiddie, earned that title with the game-winning shot. And fellow point guards Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons are more important to the Nets. But Dragic has been solid and reliable, exactly what the unreliable Nets needed, in 10 games since signing on Feb. 22.
On a team that needed decent guard play, Dragic shot 9-for-16 from the floor for a season-high 21 points with four assists and three rebounds against Dallas. He showed a burst that he hadn’t recently, getting to the rim at will and making things happen.“I thought he was sensational. … He’s obviously a big-game player,” Nets coach Steve Nash, Dragic’s former Suns teammate, said, before looking ahead to a potential minutes crunch. “When we’re fully healthy, we still got Kyrie and Seth as well.
Maybe his legs will regret it later, but the more he plays, the more he gets accustomed to a free-flowing offense, which he is getting a better handle on.
