The Nets scouts are a varied lot. Khalid Green coached Bishop Loughlin High School, the school closest to Barclays Center. Shelden Williams played for the Nets and a lot of other teams. Danko Cvjeticanin won Olympic silver medals with two different countries playing alongside Drazen Petrovic.
Then, there’s Bob Ferry who turns 80 later this month. The 6’8” power forward from another era played 13 years, then was GM of the Cavaliers and Bullets, winning a ring during Washington’s championship season in 1978.
As Roman Stubbs of the Washington Post reported Wednesday, Ferry has seen a lot of basketball, most recently at the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament last month.
