It’s becoming increasingly obvious that the point guard position is going to be a big focus of the Nets off-season. With Jeremy Lin down for most of last season —a full 46 games— and his primary back-up, Greivis Vasquez, waived after three games, the organization knows it needs to be ready for any eventuality in 2017-18.
Add the realization that the Nets are very serious in the pursuit of Euroleague star Milos Teodosic and you can see the 1 is could be No. 1.
Kenny Atkinson is not ruling out finding a back-up on the current roster.
