Hello, South America.
The Nets announced Tuesday that they have added two of South America’s most accomplished players to their staff. Argentina’s Pablo Prigioni has been hired as an assistant coach on Kenny Atkinson’s staff, while Brazil’s Tiago Splitter will join the club as a scout, with “added duties related to player on-court development.”
No word if the two will be additions to the staff or will replace those who were on the staff last season.
Brian Lewis was first to report the addition of Prigioni, an Argentine playmaker who became somewhat of a New York darling during a brief stint with the Knicks.
