Following three seasons with the Hawks, the forward was traded to the Nets last month. So Prince asked about his expected role.
“I actually asked them and they just said ‘Be yourself,’” Prince told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Monday while watching his new team play in the Las Vegas Summer League. “As a basketball player that’s a golden response that you could ever receive from a coach to be yourself and do what you do. As long as I play defense, I will be on the floor.”
Prince can do that. He is back in a familiar system with the Nets, one more like he was in his first two seasons under coach Mike Budenholzer than last season under Lloyd Pierce.
