It appears word of the new-look Brooklyn Nets, as told by General Manager Sean Marks, has reached all corners of the NBA. Ask Darius Bazley. Brooklyn’s newest and likely final signing of the offseason confirmed as much in his introductory press conference with the team, held over Zoom, on Thursday afternoon.
When asked what drew him to the borough, Bazley answered, “the young core, with also a veteran presence as well...They looked like they had fun, they looked like they played hard and together. It was just something I wanted to be a part of.”
Throughout this off-season, the first of a markedly new era, Marks and Jacque Vaughn have consistently preached the values of roster consistency, building a competitive environment that (hopefully) leads to individual and team-wide growth.
