The Brooklyn Nets forward Yuta Watanabe will enter the game Sunday at Detroit shooting 19-for-26 (.731) from the corner.
“Everything, everything is easier for me, because I think all the corner 3s I made [Friday] I was just standing there,” Watanabe said. “Like, I wasn’t moving, I wasn’t finding a spot. As soon as we got the ball, I just run to the corner, wait, wait, wait and then they gave me great passes. So I’m just glad they’re my teammates.
“Because we have so many guys that can create one-on-one, that’s not my job, so I can stay in the corner. [Defenders] know I’m a good shooter, so they’re not going to leave me, and that creates space for them. If they don’t leave, they can just attack. If they leave me, I’m wide open. Just make shots. Simple. Simple basketball.”
