Randy Ayers, former head coach with the 76ers and assistant with the Pelicans, Magic and Wizards, and Robert Bender, a former assistant coach with the Bucks, Hawks and 76ers, have been named scouts for the Nets.
Both have extensive ties with Billy King. Ayers was named to the position of college scout, while Bender was named pro scout. The Nets have had a college scouting position open since T.J. Zanin, brother of assistant GM Frank Zanin, left to take the head scout job with the Hornets this summer.
