Nets swingman jump-starts campaign for David Blatt

David Blatt may not have been good enough for Cleveland or LeBron James’ taste, but at least one Net wouldn’t mind seeing him in Brooklyn. Nets swingman Sergey Karasev — who played for Blatt on the Russian National Team — said his former mentor would be a logical fit for the Nets.

“It should be logical, because he spent seven years coaching the national team in Russia and for sure [Nets owner Mikhail] Prokhorov knows him and I’m sure they communicate,” Karasev told The Post. “I’m sure he calls him and they talk about everything. But I think he’d fit pretty good for this team, especially if like everybody says we try and build a new team and have young pieces over [the summer].
