The Nets need all the help they can get. A total of 25 players have worn the black-and-white (or will by the time they resume play on July 31). So, if someone at the end of the bench or someone underutilized before March shows up and surprises, well, that’s a cause for celebration.
Jeremiah Martin, the Nets “other” two-way, fits the description. Most fans, it’s safe to assume, don’t even know he’s on Brooklyn roster. Yet, the Memphis product, a 6’3” defensive-minded point guard, won praise from his coach and his team’s star during Monday’s Zoom call with reporters.
