Without leadership, there is no culture. And that leadership can’t be limited to the coaching staff or front office.
In fact, many of you have battled about who will step forward and lead the Nets, with options usually limited to two players, D’Angelo Russell and Jeremy Lin and 140 characters or less.
When asked about leadership among his players during Tuesday afternoon’s press conference, Sean Marks, sitting beside Kenny Atkinson, spoke highly of one veteran on the Net roster.
After noting he’ll be watching, “who gravitates to who and so forth,” the name that flew out of his mouth when answering the question was DeMarre Carroll.
