As the NBA regular season concludes, reserve players on lottery teams are finding opportunities to shine, a trend notably embraced by the Brooklyn Nets. E.J. Liddell, a G League player, has capitalized on increased minutes over the past three games, averaging 20.7 points and 6.3 rebounds.
Liddell has posted remarkable shooting splits and achieved career highs of 21 points on April 7 against the Milwaukee Bucks, followed by 26 points against the Indiana Pacers on Thursday. His effective scoring from both inside and outside the arc has made him a key contributor.
With the Nets' record at 2-1 in their last three contests, Liddell's emergence, aided by strong play from rookie point guards, has bolstered the team's rotation. This strong finish to the season may pave the way for Liddell to secure a full-time NBA roster spot for the upcoming season.
