For a better part of the past six or seven years, the Long Island Nets have been one of the top NBA G-League teams. Last year, the Nets finished in fifth place, making it to the conference quarterfinals. The year before, they were the top seed in the East and got to the conference finals. And five years ago, Long Island got to the Finals. But like every G League affiliate, turnover is high on the roster ... and in the front office. Last year, more than 20 players wore the Long Island uniform.
That turnover, however, can offer opportunities up and down the roster, from GM to open roster spots including one or two usually reserved for locals who can make the grade.
