Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot may be the reason the Nets were able to move on from Garrett Temple ahead of the 2020-21 NBA season, but the wing still has to solidify himself in Brooklyn’s rotation.
Although he had an impressive offensive performance in the bubble, Luwawu-Cabarrot will have far fewer opportunities on the offensive end in 2020-21 with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving healthy and Spencer Dinwiddie back after missing the seeding games and 2020 NBA Playoffs.
All the while, TLC still has to bring it on the defensive end.
“The way the team is built, I know and believe that I’m not going to be on the ball — with the ball — that much on the court. So just working on catch-and-shoot, running in transition, some dribble shots, all kinds of stuff — pullover behind the screen shoots, all these types of things,” he said on a Zoom call with reporters Friday. “And I’ve been watching videos [from] the bubble and the past year [for] defense to keep my mind ready and keep my mind in good form to start the season.”
