Alan Hahn called Kenny Atkinson the "point guard whisperer" on ESPN Radio Monday, citing not just his success with Jeremy Lin, but also Dennis Schoder, Shelvin Mack and of course Jeff Teague. Could he do the same with Shane Larkin? Or will Atkinson's luck with PGs mean that Larkin won't be a priority for the Nets?
He has a player option for $1.5 million --no raise, no additional years-- and although the said some nice things about Brooklyn to Alex Kennedy of Basketball Insiders, he's still not sure what he wants to do.
