Report: multiple Nets players took issue with Jacque Vaughn’s offense

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium, multiple Nets players had issue with the offense under Jacque Vaughn.

 

The Brooklyn Nets are pushing forward with their season after firing Jacque Vaughn and promoting Kevin Ollie to replace him. As what has come with an eventful Monday for the franchise, there are more reports coming out about the context surrounding Vaughn’s firing.

Per Shams Charania of The Athletic and Stadium on Monday, there were multiple Nets players, including Spencer Dinwiddie and Mikal Bridges, who had an issue with how the offense was being run under Jacque Vaughn. Charania said on FanDuel TV’s Run It Back show that those players “were pretty vocal” in the background regarding their displeasure with the offensive structure and how it was performing.

While the Nets are 18th in the NBA in offensive rating (115.3) coming out of the All-Star break, which is understandable considering that none of Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden are no longer on the team, Brooklyn was eighth in the league in offensive rating (117.7) during their 13-10 start to this season.

Since then, the Nets are just 25th in the NBA in offensive rating (112.1) which lends credence to Brooklyn’s offense being figured out by the rest of the league. One factor that severely changed for the Nets was that they went from third in the NBA in three-point shooting (38.9%) to just 24th (35.2%) from deep.
