Monday’s day off for Egor Dëmin aside, the all-rookie backcourt is on for the Nets.
Nolan Traore joining Dëmin in the starting lineup isn’t just a nod to his recent development but a glimpse at what could be their backcourt of the future, as they hope to tank their way back to competitiveness.
The two foreign teenagers complement one another, their strengths not only covering up the other’s weaknesses but even accentuating their abilities.
“Yes, we complete each other, and we play great [together],” Traore told The Post. “He is a good shooter, and it is always good for me to play with good shooters.”
