In a detailed report on Brooklyn’s rebuilding process, Lowe notes that coach
Kenny Atkinson said Hollis-Jefferson will be the team’s starting power forward,
likely joining offseason addition Timofey Mozgov in the frontcourt. As such,
Trevor Booker, who started 43 games last season, will likely come off the bench,
though it’s possible Atkinson will experiment with several different alignments,
particularly if Hollis-Jefferson continues to struggle as a shooter. The
third-year forward shot just 22.4 percent from three last season, and with a
non-shooter in Mozgov at center, the Nets could face some serious spacing
issues.
