Brooklyn is keeping the 19-year-old on Long Island to build reps in a mirrored system.

Overview

  • Traore posted 28 points on 11-for-20 shooting with nine assists and three turnovers in a 128–113 win, moving Long Island to 2–3.
  • He went 6-for-9 from deep and tightened ball security after logging 15 turnovers across his first three G League games.
  • The 19th pick has appeared in only four NBA games for Brooklyn, averaging 8.8 minutes as he sits behind other guards on the depth chart.
  • The Nets say Brooklyn and Long Island run aligned schemes under Jordi Fernandez and Mfon Udofia, easing development and terminology for rookies.
  • Danny Wolf scored 20, Yuri Collins added 16 with six rebounds and eight assists, and Trevon Scott had 19 as all five starters reached double figures for the first time in the Tip-Off Tournament.
