Final Thoughts

So will Kenny Atkinson go with the “Grit and Grind” style of play? It’s hard to say, but we do know that he has some players at his disposal if he chooses to go that route. It’s also important to note that we may see a lot of ball movement and three-point shooting from Brooklyn.

However, with the players Atkinson has, he can play the game the same way previous Memphis teams have, or even a team like the Boston Celtics. That’s exactly why Nets fans, including me, are excited to see how this unique team will play this season and in the seasons to come.
