This week in Nets talk

The shows spent the week wrestling with what the Nets actually are this season. There's intrigue around Julius Randle as a stabilizing force and young guards like Egor Demin and Mikal Brown Jr., though Ben Simmons' Achilles injury before the season even started complicated the roster. The talk keeps circling back to Brooklyn's unusual position, where losing is no longer in their interest but they're still dealing with volatile talent and injury setbacks.

Written by The Cutdown's reader from this week's clips.

7 clips · 25 min. Some clips only play in the app.

In this week's clips: Naz Reid, Dennis Schroder, Brandon Miller, Moussa Diabate, Grayson Allen, Julius Randle, Michael Porter Jr., Keon Ellis.
