Sean Marks: D’Angelo Russell, Jahlil Okafor have matured since joining Nets
In a wide ranging, pregame interview Monday with WFAN’s Chris Carlin, Bart Scott and Maggie Gray, Sean Marks talked about how his two big acquisitions this season, D’Angelo Russell and Jahlil Okafor, have matured since joining Brooklyn.
But at the same time, the big theme, as it has been for the last two years, is that the Nets are at the beginning of their rebuild and the fanbase will have to be patient. “We know we have a long, long way to go here,” he told the Afternoon Drive hosts.
Regarding the two 2015 lottery picks, Carlin asked if he’s seen a new maturity level from Russell and Okafor, Marks said indeed he has.
