Nets coach Jacque Vaughn doesn’t anticipate that Mikal Bridges will score 45 points every game.
. His shot-attempt numbers have increased since he was acquired from Phoenix, including 24 in his 45-point outburst Feb. 15 against Miami, but that’s not necessarily what Vaughn needs.
“All those things, we’re definitely gonna tap into, but at the same time, try to win games while we’re doing that. And so that’s where you find yourself where you want guys to be comfortable to take risks and be curious and be interested, but at the same time, we gotta win games going forward.”see alsoBridges has compiled 18 or more shots in two of his three games since joining the Nets’ rotation, placing his per-game average at 13.8 this season — the most in his career.
The tweaks mostly stem from angles and locations, Vaughn said. The Nets looked at what the Suns did and moved their pin-down screen location up to the elbow, along with other instances where he will look for Spencer Dinwiddie, Nic Claxton and Bridges, among others, to be synced together. Vaughn acknowledged the need to monitor Claxton’s minutes the rest of the season, especially in the Nets’ four sets of back-to-backs. That could mean additional time for Day’Ron Sharpe, Yuta Watanabe or Dorian Finney-Smith at the center position.
