"Thirteen assists... He touched the paint constantly. Speed is a factor, but he was under control, kept his dribble alive and made the right play over and over. His teammates benefited from it. That's part of development and we've got to keep growing."
"Just making the read and understanding his superpower is his speed. Using it, not forcing anything, taking what the defense gives him. If they open up the wrong way, just go, break off the play, do what you need to do to touch the paint. And defensively he's challenging a lot of shots at the rim."
Nolan Traoré delivered a 13-point, 13-assist performance with three turnovers in the Nets' 123-115 win over the Chicago Bulls, marking his first career double-double. The stat line tied for the most assists by a rookie this season and ranks among the franchise's highest for a first-year player. Traoré consistently attacked the paint while keeping his dribble alive longer, improving skip passes and making reads that created shots for teammates. Coaching staff and teammates credited his improved pacing, patience and decision-making, noting his speed remains a key advantage used more judiciously to benefit the offense.
