Stephenson’s high school coach: Lance would be fine as Brooklyn Nets player
Dwayne “Tiny” Morton has been spotted on the sidelines of a handful of games this season to watch his former team — the Lincoln Railsplitters, and was spotted again during Friday night’s win against Jefferson.
The first-year assistant coach at Seton Hall said that he’s heard the trade rumors connecting his former player, Lance Stephenson, to the Brooklyn Nets. He seemed excited by the idea and brushed off concerns that Stephenson could get himself into trouble playing back at home.
“He’s been in the NBA for a couple of years now and if he can’t manage playing at home then he doesn’t belong in the NBA,” Morton said. “So I don’t think Lance will have a problem playing at home. I think that he would love to play in Brooklyn.”
