“#How Nets are dealing with nearly unrecognizable roster<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n Everybody in the NBA bubble is dealing with coronavirus fears, ever-changing practice sites and times. But from trying to cobble together a roster to having to switch up their system on the fly, for the Nets, the rest of this season is all about handling adversity and staying flexible.<\/p>\n

Being able to bend without breaking will determine how well they do in the league restart later this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can complain right now if I really wanted to. I can complain that I have these gloves on,\u201d interim coach Jacque Vaughn said via Zoom, wearing black gloves for coronavirus protection.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut that\u2019s not the way I\u2019m asking this team to live their lives. That\u2019s a good challenge right now. We\u2019re going to invest, put dividends into not complaining and accepting this situation and making the most of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The situation is this: With the Nets without seven players because of either injury or the virus \u2014 and none of the replacements available yet \u2014 they\u2019re desperately short on bodies.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day we will have a roster, and we\u2019re just kind of working through the process of getting there,\u201d said Vaughn, who has been forced to make schematic changes on both ends of the court.<\/p>\n

With coronavirus costing the Nets four players in the past couple of weeks, the plans Vaughn had made suddenly had to be scrapp<\/a>ed and redrawn for a roster now bereft of size or firepower.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe biggest adjustment we made was streamlining and making things more simple, just because of the different bodies we\u2019re going to have,\u201d Vaughn said. \u201cThe hiatus plan that we had wrapped up in a nice box and now, we won\u2019t be able to unwrap and see all of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spencer Dinwiddie, DeAndre Jordan and Taurean Prince tested positive for coronavirus and Wilson Chandler opted out over COVID concerns. Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Nic Claxton are hurt.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou look at our roster, and you\u2019ve got to be realistic about the fact we\u2019re not going to out-talent a lot of teams we\u2019re playing against. We\u2019re definitely limited,\u201d Joe Harris admitted. \u201cBut one thing we can control is not beating ourselves, make sure everybody\u2019s executing and mentally engaged, making the right decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Right now, Jarrett Allen is the only healthy big man, leaving Rodions Kurucs their second-biggest player at 6-foot-9, 228 pounds.<\/p>\n

The Nets added 6-9 forwards Michael Beasley and Donta Hall, but both have to clear quarantine, and Beasley is suspended for five game<\/a>s. They\u2019re close to a deal for 6-8 ex-Knick Lance Thomas, first reported by SNY, but he\u2019s neither tall nor a prolific rebounder.<\/p>\n

This Hobbit-sized roster is going to require schematic juggling.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou look at our roster, we\u2019re obviously limited in terms of size and having bigs right now,\u201d Harris said. \u201cAnd even when we add some of the guys that we\u2019re bringing on, we\u2019re still going to be in the same boat.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo a lot of the emphasis is going to be on playing fast, switching a lot more frequently, trying to be up the line, pressure guys more defensively, and just try to get ourselves in advantageous situations where we\u2019re getting the ball and going in transition offensively.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harris said the frontcourt situation will likely force him to play some power forward, and even 6-7, 220-pound guard Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot has alluded to playing some forward.<\/p>\n

From having to learn new schemes, try new positions and switch practice times from morning to dinnertime to mid-day, the Nets are just going to have to adjust on the fly.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve all been warned coming into it to level our expectations for what\u2019s traditionally what is a normal routine,\u201d Harris said. \u201cIt\u2019s all just about being flexible while we\u2019re here.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
