Who should the primary Nets center be, DeAndre Jordan or Jarrett Allen? Via the New York Post:
Steve Nash insists the Nets don’t have a center controversy, and wants to head off any debate before it starts. DeAndre Jordan remained the starter Friday against the Hawks, but Jarrett Allen got more playing time, which probably will continue.
When asked whether Jordan’s relationship with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving or his steady experience out of the gate played a role in his starting, Nash said it all did.
“A bit of everything. He definitely has that relationship with Ky and Kevin. He has that experience as the older player. Caris [LeVert] and JA also have good chemistry. So, it’s a bit of everything,” Nash said before the Nets’ 114-96 loss.
In 22.5 minutes per game, Allen is averaging 8.8 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.3 blocks. In 19.8 minutes per game, Jordan is averaging 4.3 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.7 blocks.
The Nets are 3-3 so far this season.
