Michael Porter Jr. opens up on adjustment to playing with Julius Randle amid Nets' slow start

The Brooklyn Nets’ 1-5 start has put their offense under the microscope, with Julius Randle pointing to a lack of shared understanding on the floor. After a 110-94 loss to the Detroit Pistons on Friday, Randle said the team isn’t “all on the same page” about what they’re running, which leaves them in bad positions against strong defenses and disrupts flow and cuts. The Nets rank 28th in offensive rating (105.0), 21st in true shooting (55.5) and 29th in turnovers (19.0) per game. Michael Porter Jr. said he sometimes goes stretches without touching the ball, and he wants to play more off Randle. Porter is averaging 21.2 points on 46.2% shooting early, while Randle averages 20.8 on 43.3%.
