In an interview Friday with Michael Kay and Dom LaGreca, Sean Marks left no doubt as to who the Nets leader will be this season now that Brook Lopez is gone. It’s Jeremy Lin, but Marks wouldn’t say Lin is untouchable.
“We’ve got young players. He’s definitely the leader of that clubhouse, with his work ethic and the stuff he does in there. He’s tremendous. The guy’s in the gym every single day pushing it. So, he’s some guy our young guys look to and go, ‘wow, impressive.’”
Asked if Lin is someone you count on being here, Marks was just as firm, but offered the caveat that the NBA is a business.
