re-signed with the franchise<\/a>. The agreement was a two-year, $9 million deal. That includes a $4.5 million team option for the 2027-28 campaign.<\/p>\nThrough Nov. 1, Minott has played in four of Brooklyn’s first five contests. However, he only got in for six seconds while the Nets and Celtics exchanged trips to the free-throw line late in the final frame of Tuesday’s tilt in Boston. He then logged three minutes and scored two points in Friday’s 110-94 home loss to the Detroit Pistons.<\/p>\n
He’s averaging 5.3 points and 2.5 rebounds in 8.5 minutes of floor time for a Nets team that is 0-5 heading into Sunday’s game at the Indiana Pacers. During coach Jordi Fern\u00e1ndez’s pregame media availability at TD Garden, Brooklyn’s bench boss commended Minott on how hard he plays and the energy he brings.<\/p>\n
As the 45th overall pick in the 2022 NBA draft discussed his experience with the Nets, he noted his growth and his excitement for how much untapped potential he has.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s been great,\u201d he told RG.org. \u201cIt’s been a great experience. Just continuing to develop, continuing to get better, continuing to get smarter. Just overall, I mean, look, I’m 23 years old, about to be 24 in November. I feel like there’s a lot more still left on the plate to grow. So, just trying to chase that excellence.\u201d<\/p>\n
Minott said it with a smile. However, there was also a fire in his eyes. It conveyed his belief in himself and the determination to showcase more of what he’s capable of on the court.<\/p>\n
The season is young. And after what he lived through last year, he knows as well as anyone how quickly a situation can change. While he may want more playing time, the energy and effort he’s providing, coupled with his length and athleticism, are the start of a foundation that can make that happen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Florida native made his debut with Brooklyn in late February.
