Brooklyn Nets head coach Kenny Atkinson was happy with DeMarre Carroll's play at the power forward spot against the Atlanta Hawks on Sunday.
"We felt like we need more shooting [at power forward]," said Atkinson, adding, "with DeMarre in there at the four, we can really spread them out. [the defense] can't really help."
