The Nets are adding to their coaching staff, with The Post learning ex-Knick Pablo Prigioni will join the group. He will aid in development, especially helping to groom a glut of young point guards who will be key in their rebuilding process.
The Knicks also had interest in hiring Prigioni, who spent 2012-15 in the Garden and helped them to their last playoff berth, in 2012-13. But in the end he opted to sign on with Brooklyn and head coach Kenny Atkinson, whom he has known for years through European basketball and Basketball Without Borders.
“I’m still learning from these guys,” Prigioni had told The Post during a weeks-long visit with the Nets coaching staff.
