"It's a great feeling because you feel all this energy in the gym here and we've been playing against each other, and now, you get to play somebody new. I think that's very exciting. Guys are trying to position themselves and competing against each other for who starts, who's in the rotation, minutes, and so on. I think that's the healthy competition we want. Now, we get to take it to the next step, which is like a real game."
"In a 100-85 win over Hamburg Towers on Tuesday, former Seton Hall guard and Brooklyn native Khadeen Carrington paced Jerusalem with 19 points in 26 minutes. Jared Harper and Austin Wiley - teammates on Auburn's 2018-19 Final Four squad - chipped in as well, with Harper scoring 16 and Wiley adding 14 points and a team-high 11 rebounds."
"Jerusalem is known for its pace control and balanced scoring, often using pick-and-roll actions to create mismatches. They also bring toughness on the glass, with Wiley anchoring the interior. While the Nets' talent advantage is obvious, Jerusalem's chemistry, shooting and ability to slow the game down make them a capable test early in the preseason."
The Nets finished the opening stretch of training camp and open preseason against Hapoel 'Bank Yahav' Jerusalem at Barclays Center. Practice intensity has been high as players compete for starting roles, rotation spots and minutes. Hapoel Jerusalem is a decorated club in the Israeli Premier League and EuroCup with multiple State Cups, league titles and a EuroCup championship, finishing 20-6 in Israel and 11-7 in EuroCup last season. Khadeen Carrington scored 19 in a recent 100-85 win, with Jared Harper (16) and Austin Wiley (14, 11 rebounds) contributing. Jerusalem uses pace control, balanced scoring, pick-and-roll actions and interior toughness to pose an early preseason test.
