Nets head coach Jacque Vaughn has stated that Day'Ron Sharpe is making a case for more playing time
“I tell him (Sharpe), ‘you just want to be on the minds of the coaches’," Vaughn said after the Nets' 136-133 win over the Indiana Pacers on Sunday, December 11.
"When they think about who we’re going to put in, you wanna be in that sentence. He’s there. What he does, which helped him in this game, is offensive rebounds compared to the fouling.
"I think he was in a great position tonight and he’s learning how to be in the right place. Great growth from him”
