""It's fast, you better be in shape," Bufkin said. "I'm glad I was in shape when I came in.""
""I don't think you ever have enough ball handlers," Fernandez said. "Making plays for others is always important. Obviously, you need players that are able to take multiple attempts and score in bunches, but those are easier to defend if you don't have paint touches and the ball reversals that really move the def"
Jordi Fernández prioritizes a faster, high-tempo offense built around durable floor generals who can sustain pace and execute without tiring. Brooklyn added multiple ball handlers, including Kobe Bufkin, and leaned into a guard-heavy draft to supply competition at point guard. Training camp opened a clear battle for the position and highlighted conditioning demands. Last season the team ranked near the bottom in points (105.1), pace (96.73), assists (25.2), turnovers (15.2), fast break points (14.3) and points in the paint (43.5), reflecting instability and limited transition and paint scoring. The strategy is to let competition sort out a long-term answer.
