Jevon Carter and the 29th pick of this year’s draft was traded to Brooklyn in exchange for Landry Shamet. With the pick, the Nets selected big man Day’Ron Sharpe for depth in the frontcourt. For Carter’s case, he was sought out by Nets GM Sean Marks for his capabilities defensively.
In his first time talking to the media, the 25-year-old admitted that he was excited when he found out he was traded to Brooklyn. When talking about his defense, Carter said:
“Defense is very personal … that’s just a must and that’s just who I am — Defense is why I’m in the NBA, so why stop now? I gotta bring it.”
The season has not even started yet, but one thing is clear. This year’s Nets roster is more balanced because of the personnel brought in for that end. Last season only proved that offense won’t ever be a problem for this team, so it was only right to make a couple of adjustments.
