Mason Plumlee was dominant this week, as most people expected him to be. Rarely missing from the field, Plumlee showed the offensive ability of a starting center in the NBA. He also showed improvement in his jump shot, shooting outside of the restricted area this year.
The Nets are looking for big things from Plumlee this season as he was named to the All-Rookie First Team last season. With a group of savvy veterans surrounding him, look for Plumlee to continue to grow into a starting caliber center.
