I think the SI articles are written well in advance of publication. Hence, this scout may not have taken in the recent victories.
The first two sentences are fine. The last two seem a bit inane. Perhaps, it reflects a dated perspective. In any case, I don't see Krstic as much of a trailer on the break. As for up-tempo basketball, the NETS are playing enough right now. Maybe the guy's got a gripe against Frank.
