  • Sharf contributed a key offensive rebound and assist in the final quarter.

Israeli guard Ben Sharf acknowledged he can perform better, even as the Brooklyn Nets secured a 114-108 preseason victory over Philadelphia. Sharf, who played 12 minutes primarily in the final quarter, contributed a crucial offensive rebound, an assist, and a point from the free-throw line to help maintain the Nets' lead.

Despite the positive contributions, Sharf expressed personal dissatisfaction with his performance in the limited minutes, stating he holds himself to higher standards. "I've set higher standards for myself than what I played in the last few minutes," Sharf told Sport 5. "I think in the end I always want to win and want to help the team win. I think I can do it better."

He also noted feeling more comfortable and confident shooting from beyond the three-point arc, attributing this to dedicated summer training. "Definitely I feel much more comfortable, I'm looking for threes. The three felt very good to me, I feel I did a good job this summer on this," he said.

Sharf expressed enjoyment at returning to the court after a three-month absence due to injury, relishing the atmosphere of playing in front of a crowd again. He indicated a commitment to reviewing game footage and continuing to improve.

The article also briefly mentions fellow Israeli NBA player Deni Avdija, though without further detail.
