Caris LeVert is returning to his pre-injury self at the perfect time for the Nets. LeVert looks more and more comfortable as each game passes. LeVert struggled at finishing close to the rim when he returned, but has been much better at finishing over the last several games. LeVert is averaging 16.8 ppg and 4.2 apg over his last 7 games. If you discard his performance on April 3rd in which he only scored 3 points, LeVert is averaging 19.2 ppg. Coach Kenny Atkinson made the adjustment to make LeVert come off the bench after he was struggling playing alongside D’Angelo Russell. LeVert has thrived in the 6th man role, and has looked like his unguardable self.

The Nets are a dangerous team when LeVert is playing well. Brooklyn started the season 6-7 before LeVert had a horrific injury against the Minnesota Timberwolves. LeVert had looked like and all star, and was the early season favorite for most improved player. Brooklyn was projected to be a 10 seed in the East, and they outperformed expectations to start the year with Caris leading the charge. LeVert was the Nets’ best player to start the year. It took time for Caris to return, but he immediately provided a spark for the Nets. The Nets are a very deep team with LeVert, and they have a three headed guard monster of LeVert, Russell, and Dinwiddie. The Sixers better watch out if the real Caris LeVert is back.
