As much as the Nets talk about their much-hyped performance team, they beefed up the unit Wednesday with three additions — including one who contributed to Jeremy Lin’s rehab this past season.
Zach Weatherford — who designed the workouts for the U.S. Navy SEALS, and has drawn praise from Nets team leader DeMarre Carroll — will still head the team as director of human performance. The Nets had just promoted Sebastien Poirier to head athletic trainer, and created a new director of sports science position for their former strength and conditioning coach Dan Meehan.
The Nets also created another new job, director of sports medicine.
