The Brooklyn Nets have been through some trials and tribulations over the past few seasons due to the attention that came with having Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden in Brooklyn in pursuit of a championship. Despite all that happened, it looks like someone continued to make a name for himself in the process.
According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo! Sports, Nets assistant general manager Jeff Peterson is regarded by most around the league as a possible lead executive for the Charlotte Hornets if they do not bring back general manager and president of basketball operations Mitch Kupchak. Peterson has been in Brooklyn since May 2019 when he was hired to fill the position that he currently has.
Peterson got his start in the NBA in 2013 as a scout for the Atlanta Hawks and worked his way up the ladder to be in contention for being a general manager for a team at some point in the near future. Here’s what Fischer had to say about Peterson:
“Brooklyn assistant general manager Jeff Peterson has emerged as one of the most respected young executives in the NBA. Peterson is hailed for his authenticity, particularly in his ability to communicate up and down the organizational chart. In 2020, Peterson interviewed for the Pistons’ general manager opening. And with a new ownership structure in Charlotte, should the Hornets ultimately move on from Mitch Kupchak after the final year of his contract, Peterson has become widely linked by league personnel as a possible next lead executive in Charlotte.”
