It’s hard to say, at this point, what the Nets most underrated move was this summer. It’s early, of course, and there are a number of moves that look like they qualify. Still, the Nets hiring of Adam Caporn as Long Island Nets coach could be a big deal. Caporn moved on from running Basketball Australia’s Centre of Excellence to coaching in the G League.
“He’s ran probably the best developmental program in the world in the Centre of Excellence in Australia and that’s something that we want to do with Long Island — to make it sustainably one of the best developmental programs that we have here stateside,” said Matt Riccardi, Long Island’s GM, indicating that the Nets have moved on from hiring a new coach every year to a longer term strategy.
