Fernandez eyes turnaround in Brooklyn
New Nets coach eager to bring team back to NBA relevance
Jordi Fernandez was part of an historic turnaround in Sacramento the past two years, helping the Kings go from 52 losses to back-to-back postseason appearances.
That’s why Nets general manager Sean Marks tabbed the former Kings assistant as the 24th head coach in franchise history Monday.
On Wednesday, Fernandez began explaining his plan to return the Nets, losers of 50 games and non-playoff participants for the first time in six years, to contender status in the Eastern Conference.
