X-Factor: Tosan Evbuomwan
Truthfully, everyone on the Nets has a “pick me” sign hanging around their necks, and it’s hard to know who will still even be on the team in a month.
Cam Thomas is the likeliest player to assume the role of tank commander when the dust has settled, but he’s been good enough that the Nets certainly won’t be rushing him back from the various injuries and ailments he’s already accumulating.
So why not pick a player like Evbuomwan, someone fighting for his NBA career? In his five games this season, he’s 5-for-14 from deep and has had a few defensive moments. He also unveiled one of the more unusual push shots in the league:
Look at that thing! Magnificent.
I’m not sure a single Net on the roster right now will still be here in two seasons, so I’m more than a little intrigued by the guys like Evbuomwan, Ziaire Williams, Jalen Wilson, Tyrese Martin, and others who are fighting to carve out a future for themselves.
