Erik SlaterHOST
And, It's interesting because you see a guy like Josh Minot, I'm going to get into the rotation in the last segment, but Josh Minot, you would think, is one of the Nets' rangiest, longest, kind of causes havoc and would fit well into this defensive scheme, and he's really been buried in this rotation during the preseason.
Erik SlaterHOST
I wasn't at the game in Washington tonight, but I'm going to get some clarity from Jordy Fernandez on that in the coming days, but You know, you could say maybe that's why a guy like Chaney Johnson is in there with the second unit.
Erik SlaterHOST
We actually saw the second unit guard a little bit better.
Erik SlaterHOST
That might be because they were playing against the second unit of the Wizards also.
Erik SlaterHOST
But you have a little bit more range in there with guys like, you know, Chaney Johnson, a front line of Chaney Johnson, Noah Clowney and Mo Wagner, a little bit more athleticism.
Erik SlaterHOST
You have Drake Powell played with the second unit on defense.
Erik SlaterHOST
He's obviously more athletic.
6 MINS LATER
Erik SlaterHOST
I just think that's how it's going to play out.
WonzoHOST
Yaeger kinda sucks.
WonzoHOST
But, like, Mo, Mo Wagner, Noah Clowney, Chaney Johnson, like, these guys are real legit rotation, like, NBA players.
WonzoHOST
Like, obviously, their young guys kinda stink.
WonzoHOST
Troy was actually decent today.
39 MINS LATER
WonzoHOST
That's a Keyshawn tax.
WonzoHOST
Uh, Mo- Mo Wagner's been in the league like a decade now.
WonzoHOST
Noah Klowney just bombs threes at like six-nine, right? Chaney Johnson, if you guys know who that is, I caught him in Summer League.
WonzoHOST
Super impressed.
Connor LongHOST
John, great to have you back.
Connor LongHOST
And before we get into the game, I meant to ask you last time, you have the nickname, the Chaininator, for Chaney Johnson, which I shared with Chaney and he was a fan of.
Connor LongHOST
Do you have any nicknames like that for any other players on the team, Curry?
JohnAUDIENCE
Oh, yeah, I do.
Erik SlaterHOST
CalSheet, trade what's next.
Erik SlaterHOST
And on today's episode, Chaney Johnson.
Erik SlaterHOST
I got to talk about him because Chaney has been...
Erik SlaterHOST
Dating back probably to the end of last year's regular season, going into summer league, now going into this preseason, one of the biggest surprises of this Nets team and the biggest rotation surprise without a doubt of the preseason has been Chaney running with the second unit and looking like a guy who potentially is challenging for rotation role early in the year as a two-way contract.
Erik SlaterHOST
So I want to dive into some of what has made Chaney a, you know, just a pleasant surprise for this Nets organization.
Erik SlaterHOST
As I said, there really has been a steady drumbeat for Chaney Johnson coming from within the Nets, you know, hearing some things about training camp.
Erik SlaterHOST
He's been performing brilliantly.
Erik SlaterHOST
very well.
Daniel GranadanHOST
I, um, give me Drake Powell and, um, and call it a day because I don't believe in Ben Saraf at all.
Daniel GranadanHOST
And then Chaney Johnson.
Daniel GranadanHOST
Chaney Johnson looking not, not bad.
Daniel GranadanHOST
Not bad.
Daniel GranadanHOST
[chuckles] Not bad.
Devon GivensHOST
I think it was Jones.
Devon GivensHOST
Uh, J- Chaney Johnson.
Devon GivensHOST
Chaney Johnson and Wolf, they got confused on where they were supposed to go, and all Jabari did was move from one side of the block to the other and then show himself, put his hands up, and LeBron James, who is again a willing passer right there, if you look at it.
Devon GivensHOST
Look at Jones right here, where Jabari Walker's right there underneath the basket.
Devon GivensHOST
Wolf is still trying to figure out, because Dean Wade is now cutting to this side of the floor, uh, on, on the weak side now where LeBron James has the ball.
MitchellHOST
Right.
MitchellHOST
So hopefully fantasy in general is a little bit more stable in terms of like who you're drafting and you're not making such drastic ads, you know, the last couple of weeks of the season where it's like Chaney, you're relying on Chaney Johnson to give you like 20 points and like six rebounds and three assists or something like that compared to some guys that, you know, can provide you that throughout the entirety of the season.
MitchellHOST
It feels kind of unfair sometimes when, know you see those type of guys produce those numbers because of the the tanking that's involved so hopefully we don't see that anymore and we kind of get a little bit more stable in terms of the talent um and production late into the one
AndrewHOST
thing that i'm doing here we're on my turn So a lot of what we focused on, like I said, is guys are going to have the ball in their hands a lot.
Erik SlaterHOST
I just said I was really impressed with Julius Randall's effort defensively.
Erik SlaterHOST
Chaney Johnson, a guy who I'm going to do a full episode on Chaney, probably a bonus episode tomorrow on Friday.
Erik SlaterHOST
But Chaney is running with the second unit.
Erik SlaterHOST
And man, oh, man, Chaney is a menace defensively.
Erik SlaterHOST
There's a lot of length and a lot of size.
Erik SlaterHOST
They brought in a guy like Julius Randle, who has that size, has that strength.
Erik SlaterHOST
You have a guy like Chaney Johnson stepping in, who obviously has those attributes.
Erik SlaterHOST
Even Mo Wagner, a mobile guy, a guy who does have a little bit of physicality to him.
Thomas LeuthnerHOST
He looked pretty good.
Thomas LeuthnerHOST
And Chaney Johnson, 9-4-2.
Thomas LeuthnerHOST
But today we're going to be talking about the win and what it actually tells us for preseason, why Yegor's performance matters, whether he can take a genuine leap this season, and what Julius Randle brings to this group.
Thomas LeuthnerHOST
Most young players are going to make their cases for a minute, so let's get into it.
10 MINS LATER
Thomas LeuthnerHOST
And I also think Ben Seraph is going to be given minutes at times.
Thomas LeuthnerHOST
But I also want to see if you can play Nolan and Ben Seraph at the same time because that is something that is tough.
Thomas LeuthnerHOST
And then you get into the younger bigs, Danny Wolfe and Chaney Johnson.
Thomas LeuthnerHOST
Danny Wolfe finished with 9.6 rebounds and 4 assists in 16 minutes.
JohnAUDIENCE
So I don't even think Clowney's whole skill set, what he's good at, is really, you know, it's very below par for us right now.
JohnAUDIENCE
I know he's playing a bit at the three tonight, but again, Chaney Johnson, I didn't mention this, I thought that was a great substitution, because we talked about Chaney Johnson this whole summer, you and me, Connor.
JohnAUDIENCE
He was a guest on your show, the Chaininator, like, I like him.
JohnAUDIENCE
The Chaininator! But, yeah.
JohnAUDIENCE
I think for a 6'7 guy, that's way more better for his skill set than being our emergency big.
JohnAUDIENCE
And I think Eric Slater asked Sean Marks, what is Danny Wolfe's role? And he might have said he's a wing as opposed to a center.
JohnAUDIENCE
So, at this point, if Danny again, the burn at the four, Chaney Johnson, man, It seems like he's a seamless fit for what Jordy wants to run.
JohnAUDIENCE
So I thought to me that was the best substitution early on because Chaney this summer put in the work, stayed hungry, stayed focused.
