Jarrett Allen: Caris LeVert has ‘done a tremendous job’ of leading Nets

So long as they’re in the Disney bubble, the Brooklyn Nets are Caris LeVert’s team.

Caris LeVert may not be the oldest player on Brooklyn’s Disney bubble roster, but make no mistake: for the time being, this is his team.

With that, a lot falls on LeVert’s shoulders. But, if nothing else, it’s a chance to show the organization he can be the Nets’ third star — not only from a talent standpoint, but also as a leader.

Although the Nets lost two of their three Disney bubble scrimmages, Jarrett Allen feels LeVert has taken to his new role, as he explained to reporters on a Zoom call on Monday following Brooklyn’s loss to the Utah Jazz, per Brian Lewis of the New York Post:

You saw it last season. … He was just starting to come out and be that. You saw it in the Celtics game where he scored [51 points]. So, now that he’s here, he finally has the chance to be able to lead us and he’s done a tremendous job with that.

LeVert’s next big test comes on Friday, when the Brooklyn takes on the Orlando Magic in their first seeding game at 2:30 p.m.
