It's Kiki Vandeweghe's turn to debut as NJ Nets coach

They have 12 current bodies again.

Almost like a real team.

Three centers.

Seven wings or guards.

And two power forwards, an precinct that gets an additional boost Sunday, when Yi is expected to return.

A veritable embarrassment of riches, with an gravity on the 'embarrassment' part.

And two of these are debuts:

“I’m at a time where it’s time to jump off -- jump in the irrigate and start swimming,” Tony Battie said.

“I'm pretty excited just to go out and try to succour our team get off of this losing skid,” Keyon Dooling said.

“I hope we can bring some things, some intangibles we’ve been lacking. Subdue’s a veteran guy, Yi’s a young player that brings a lot of different things to our team, I have my name brand of basketball, and we still don’t have Jarvis yet. When we get everyone together, we have to figure out rotations and this that and the other. Until then, we hope that it’s a positive.”
