On December 17, Beijing time, the Nets signed two players in a row, first according to the famous Shams report, sources revealed that the Nets plan to sign free agent James Ennis with difficult exceptions. Then, according to chris Haynes, after the Nets signed Ennis, they also signed free agent Shaquil Harrison on a 10-day contract. In the previous game, the Nets have signed free agent Galloway, and he has also appeared in the game against Philadelphia, this time the Nets have signed Ennis and Harrison again, which undoubtedly greatly improves the team's lineup strength, as the number of players who can play, the pressure on Adu will be reduced, which will help him get more rest time.
First of all, let's take a look at the performance of two players the Nets have signed in a row, the first is veteran James Ennis, who was selected in 2013, he has played in the league for 8 seasons, played a total of 388 regular season games, has a lot of personal game experience, and is a functional role player in the game, able to defend, outside the three-point line, but also able to break through with the ball, comprehensive technology.
When he played for the Magic last season, he played in 41 games for the team, including 37 starts, and was able to personally get 8.4 points and 4 rebounds, shooting 43.3% from outside the three-point line.
The Nets signed Ennis, it's not just about replacing the players who can't play, he's a player who can really help the team, he's experienced and technical, he's technically comprehensive, his outside shots are accurate, the defense is also online, his presence can make the Nets better, and if he can play a shining performance in the game, then his hope of successfully staying in the team is very great.
Then we look at Shaquil Harrison, who is not that much compared to Ennis. He was a losing draft, and although he played in the league for a few seasons with his own efforts, his overall performance was not too good. In his NBA career, he played a total of 173 games, averaging 5.2 points and 2.4 rebounds per game, shooting 43.6% from the field and 28.3% from three-point range.
He briefly played for the Nuggets last season, but he played in only 17 games, averaging just 3.3 points and 2.3 rebounds per game in 16.3 minutes, shooting 34.5 percent from the field and 21.4 percent from three-point range, making him less than ideal on the offensive end. Fortunately, Harrison is a defensive guard, his defensive performance is good, the awareness is also very good, the Nets selected him to sign, which is also hoping to improve the defensive strength of the backcourt.
The Nets signed two players in a row, Ennis and Harrison, both of whom are very good role players, one focusing on outside shooting, while the other focusing on defense, both players have their own advantages. With many Nets players unable to play, these two players also have the opportunity to perform themselves, and if they can play well and share Durant's pressure in the game, then they have a chance to stay in the team.
