It has been a long time coming for former NBA sharpshooter Kyle Korver to make his return to the basketball scene. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, the one-time All-Star will join the Brooklyn Nets as a player development assistant coach. Korver’s expertise will make an immediate impact on the team, particularly for Brooklyn’s shooters.
Steve Clifford is also set to join the Nets as a coaching consultant per Malika Andrews of ESPN. Clifford was last seen as head coach of the Orlando Magic this year, leading them to a 21-51 record, before parting ways. Remember, Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash is already familiar with Clifford. In the 2012-13 season the former Magic coach was an assistant coach on the Los Angeles Lakers. Of course, this was around the time when Nash was a member of the purple and gold.
