Brooklyn Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez applauded Dariq Whitehead’s efficient three-point shooting following Monday’s 128-102 road loss vs. the Chicago Bulls (18 points/2 rebounds/1 assist/2 steals/1 block/6-11 FG/6-10 3-PT).
*set career-highs in points, steals, made field goals, and made threes/tied career-best for blocks*
(via YES Network):
“It was great. I asked him to be ready to shoot. He knows what we’re about and what we’re trying to do, just don’t overthink it and do it. He shot 10 threes. He made 6 of ‘em. I’m happy for him, but the reality is he put the work in. The coaches that he works with, the medical performance, he got healthy. So, obviously I’m happy to see that. I wish that we could have got a win so he plays this well, he makes all his threes, and we win the game. So, happy for him. Happy for his minutes. Happy for the way he played.”
