News from earlier today suggested that the Brooklyn Nets signed free agent Langston Galloway with a difficult term. Previously, Nets players James Harden, Bruce Brown, Lamarcus Aldridge, DeAndre Bemburi, James Johnson, Jevon Carter, Paul Millsap were quarantined because of the new crown epidemic, Joe Harris was still recuperating from surgery, and Irving was repairing.
As a result, there are only 8 people left on the Nets lineup, including 4 rookies, if one more person can not play, the Nets will lose the game qualification, the Nets will be postponed, so Ma Zong signed Galloway today.
So let's take a look at this firefighter today.
Galloway, 30, played for the Phoenix Suns last season and averaged 4.8 points, 1.1 rebounds per game, shooting 42.4% from three-point range!
At the peak of his career, Galloway averaged 10.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game in a single season, shooting 40% from three-point range, and in the Pistons' game against the Hornets on November 16, 2019, Galloway played 38 minutes off the bench, shooting 11 of 16, 7 of 11 three-pointers, and contributed 32 points!
Talking about Galloway, he could not stay on the Nets' big roster in the end, because the 7 players in the new crown quarantine would be absent at least until the end of the Christmas war on December 26 if they could not pass the test, so Galloway was the firefighter for these ten days.
First of all, Galloway is not a defensive player, his only role in the game is to score, and his scoring means are relatively scarce, but under the Nets' offensive system, he will get a lot of shooting opportunities, we refer to Galloway's career nearly 37% three-point shooting rate, he is a player who can hit three-pointers.
Secondly, in order to regain a foothold in the NBA, even if Galloway is not a defensive player in these ten days, he is bound to come up with 120% of the state, which is no doubt.
Can he help Durant?
Yes!
Because the Nets have no one! Now in the Nets roster, only Durant, Griffin and Mills can play, the rest of the people, including Clarkston, are young players, even so, the Nets can play, I say that the meaning of playing, is to leave him good or not, gasping for breath, just 8 people, you don't care how Galloway is, at least he is the ninth person, the ten minutes he plays, you can let Durant and other players rest for ten minutes, which can effectively reduce Durant's consumption.
Secondly, Galloway was Derrick Rose's younger brother at that time, and when he was on the same team as Rose, thanks to Rose's sudden score, He raised Galloway's three-point shooting rate to 40%. However, whether Galloway will have a chance to play is also unknown, he is only 185 barefoot, is a player who is completely undefended, and if he can't score in time, his role is limited.
Of course, Galloway is not without merit, this is a veteran who has played on the pitch for many years, and his instant combat strength is certainly much better than that of players like Cam Thomas.
The Nets signed Galloway, which is a helpless move, and the team is really no one to play now. On the other hand, it also proved the determination of the Entire Nets, who could have announced Durant's injury and postponed the game, but they did not do so, choosing to face the difficulties head-on under the premise of as many as 9 people (except for Carter).
Of course, I hope the Nets don't overdraw Durant, the Nets are now in the first place in the East, they don't have any record pressure, and it is necessary to exchange some irrelevant wins in the regular season for the health of the players.
