When making his decision of where he wanted to play this season, Shabazz Napier saw an opportunity with the Brooklyn Nets, who he said are a team that is “on the rise.,” per Tom Dowd of NBA.com.
Ultimately what sealed the deal in Napier’s choice to come to Brooklyn was coach Kenny Atkinson voicing that he wanted to use Napier as an off-ball threat on offense.
Napier wants to be a contributor in Brooklyn right away and the Nets system will give him the opportunity to put up his best numbers ever.
The outlook for Napier this season is that he is in the right system under Atkinson to not only grow, but put up his best numbers on offense both on- and off-ball.
