The Nets tried out Auburn University s freshman backcourt star, but his compatibility with the team does not seem to be high?

According to the well-known NBA draft reporter Adam Zagoria, the Brooklyn Nets held a trial last week against the popular rookie in this year's NBA draft, Tahaad Pettiford, a freshman backcourt star from Auburn University.

Pettyford was born in August 2005. He is 19 years old, has a bare foot height of 183.6cm, weighs 76.6kg, has a wingspan of 199.6cm, and has a standing height of 243.8cm. He is a backcourt player with very comprehensive skills. In the NCAA game this season, Pettyford made 38 appearances (1 start), averaged 22.9 minutes of playing time, averaged 11.6 points, 2.2 rebounds (0.2 frontcourt rebounds), 3 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.2 blocks, 1.6 turnovers and 2.4 fouls, shooting 42.1% (3.8/9.1), three-point shooting percentage 36.6% (1.8/5), and free throw shooting percentage 80.4% (2.1/2.6). With his outstanding performance, Pettyford was also shortlisted for the SEC League's All-Rookie Team, which is enough to show everyone's recognition of his performance this season.

From the perspective of characteristics, Pettyford is a skilled backcourt player. Pettyford has pretty good dribbling skills on the offensive end, and he is also good at winning himself the space to break through changes in technology, rhythm and speed. Pettyford has a balanced left and right hand abilities, and he is very skilled in basic skills. Pettyford is a reliable pitcher with excellent shooting skills after dribbling, and his stability outside the three-point line is also good. In addition, his passing ability and overall view are excellent. He is also good at using pick-and-roll, and he also has certain ability to move without the ball. However, Pettyford is indeed relatively limited in terms of figure, which will also lead to some considerable trouble on the defensive end.

Judging from the current draft market, Pettyford has the chance to be selected from the last part of the first round to the second round, and his draft market looks good. Considering that the Nets have a large number of draft picks, there should be no problem with them choosing Pettyford. On the other hand, the Nets still have a high demand for No. 1 players, and they will naturally consider the possibility of choosing Pettyford. But the problem is that Pettyford's figure is limited, and his influence on the game on the defensive end will also be worrying, and the Nets' second-place player Cam Thomas's performance on the defensive end is also very worrying. In this case, there will also be some problems with the compatibility between Pettyford and Thomas. Pettyford is undoubtedly a young player with excellent abilities and great potential, but is his characteristics and style of play really suitable for the Nets?
