Caris LeVert has career night including 19pts
Caris LeVert played a career high 27 mins tonight against the Cavs. He was playing a lot of point and was guarding either Kyrie or Lebron most of the night. He had a career high in points and assists (19 and 5) along with 4 boards. Cavs won 116-108. Here's to hoping he stays healthy the rest of the season. Najee finished the game with a DNP.

I was getting nervous there wouldn't be a Najee mention, you saved the post.

...

January 6th, 2017 at 10:26 PM ^
It would be great to see him succeed.
January 6th, 2017 at 10:33 PM ^
player.
January 6th, 2017 at 10:27 PM ^
Obligatory Najee comment!
January 6th, 2017 at 10:34 PM ^
Hope he can be consistent enough to have a long career!
GO BLUE!!

Watched whole game and Caris looked good. Tied Lebron up immediate once he entered game for a jump ball (that didn't go well) and after a slow start (missed a couple of 3's badly) he settled down and started taking the ball to the hole. Hit a couple of LONG 3's and was definitely the Nets "go to guy" as the closed a 20 point Cav lead down to 6. Had a good look at another 3 that would made it a one possession game but it rimmed out and the Cavs took control from there.
Very aggressive at driving to the rim and a better long range shot than I remember. Held his own on D (needs to eat a sandwich-VERY overmatched size-wise) and passed ok.
Nice game for him.

I think it's pretty simple for Caris. Stay healthy and he should have a long career in the NBA. Legit 6'6" with a great stroke. At the very least he can be a 3 and D guy.

Best of luck to this kid

get to watch the NBA much, I always got a Jamal Crawford vibe from him in college, lengthy with smooth handles and a good shooter mid to long. Who's he compare to when seeing him in the NBA now, still Crawford?
January 6th, 2017 at 10:50 PM ^
But with a better jump shot.
January 7th, 2017 at 8:45 AM ^
I'd say still Crawford, but a better passer and defender with not quite as good of a shot or handle.

Levert had a +10 differential even though the Nets lost by 8. In other words, he's making a positive difference off the bench which bodes well for his future.
It's a damn shame he couldn't stay healthy for a full season in 2015 and 2016. With someone of LeVert's ability, this year's team is a legit top 15 team.

when can I watch the damned Najee highlight video??!! I can't stand the wait any longer....I'm gonna do it
January 6th, 2017 at 11:04 PM ^
Najee Harris. Am I doing it right?

He had such bad luck with injuries, never had a chance to put up record numbers at Michigan. I hope his luck changes in the NBA and he gets to stay healthy for many years.
January 6th, 2017 at 11:19 PM ^
were to hard on him through his injuries. He was the unkown out of that recruiting group originally. Had my cousin get the freshmen to sign a ball when he was on the staff, gr3, stauskus, mcgary, albrect, and LaVert. LaVert was a late grab, I think he was heading to Ohio(bobcats). He did very well considering what his expectations were, minimal, out of that class.
January 6th, 2017 at 11:26 PM ^
Wish I could have seen him guarding Lebrun. Crazy

I think Pierre would have been pretty outmatched there.

at the last minute by John Beilein. Good eye coach !
January 7th, 2017 at 12:08 AM ^
Damn he looks quick.
January 7th, 2017 at 8:44 AM ^
Some of those passes were IMPRESSIVE. Way to play Caris.

Every Sunday, the New York Times profiles an interesting New Yorker. This week, it's Caris:

It's frustrating. He could have really helped maintain the programs momentum without the injuries.
January 7th, 2017 at 9:35 AM ^
Looked good...thanks for sharing. Looks like he has added some good weight.
January 7th, 2017 at 10:51 AM ^
Caris suffered some bad breaks here (no pun intended) & seems like such a good guy - he deserves some good to come his way. I hope he continues this trend and sees great success in the NBA & the rest of his life.
