In between answering media questions, smiling through photo shoots and glad-handing last week, Jordi Fernandez got to talk to two of his players at HSS Training Center: Dariq Whitehead and Cam Johnson.
Both were getting up shots at one of the practice courts high above New York Harbor just before the introductory press conference began and each spent a few minutes with the new boss. While Fernandez said he had already spoken to most of the Brooklyn Nets players, the conversation between he and Johnson looked like their first face-to-face. They talked for a few minutes, then moved on.
