Everybody had their job in the Nets ecosystem. Some have more than one, some more important than others.<\/p>\n
As a rookie head coach, Jordi Fernandez has a host of new responsibilities \u2014 from implementing systems on both ends of the court to managing the game to dealing with the media. <\/p>\n
But no job is more important than development.<\/p>\n
Not just developing players, but developing a winning culture. <\/p>\n
That means setting a standard they\u2019re going to measure up to.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, that\u2019s my No. 1 priority,\u201d Fernandez said before Sunday\u2019s 114-104 loss to the Knicks at the Garden. \u201cThat comes with what you do in your day to day, right? Are you willing to get 1 percent better every day? Are you willing to build relationships with your players? Are you willing to accept your role, and not just accept it but embrace it? Those things are at the end of the day, what\u2019s going to keep building our identity.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo far, I\u2019m very proud of the guys. You guys can see the games and how these guys fight. If the mistakes are honest mistakes, we\u2019re trying, it\u2019s all good. But you don\u2019t see the day-to-day, what they do in practice and how they interact with each other, and I\u2019m very happy with how the process is going so far. We\u2019re not close yet, but we\u2019ve made progress. So, it\u2019s just the beginning, and we have a plan.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Nets had dropped four out of their past five going into Sunday\u2019s game at the Garden. <\/p>\n
But nobody who has watched them \u2014 even before they erased Friday\u2019s 19-point fourth-quarter deficit to take a lead with 12 seconds left \u2014 could deny that Fernandez has them buying in and playing hard.<\/p>\n
The Nets drew just nine charges all of last season, the least of any team since such stats started being tracked, per Elias Sports Bureau. But they came into Sunday with seven in 13 games, tied for ninth-best in the NBA this season.<\/p>\n
But for a franchise coming off a 32-50 season so disappointing that it prompted them to trade Mikal Bridges to the Knicks and start a rebuild, it isn\u2019t just about how they play. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s about how they practice. Even how they live.<\/p>\n
Hence Fernandez\u2019s \u201cget one percent better every day\u201d mantra.<\/p>\n
\u201c[It came from] a lot of the coaches that I\u2019ve worked with. Starting with Mike Brown, Byron Scott, David Blatt, Ty Lue, Michael Malone, Sergio Scariolo, all those coaches that I\u2019ve worked with, I have a lot of respect for them. Helping me understand that yes, games are important, everybody gets excited with playing games. But if you take care of getting 1 percent better, especially when people are not looking at you, watching you, what you do.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt can be getting shots on your own, but also it can be, \u2018I\u2019ve got to take care of my body. I need to rest. I need to eat the right things. I need to take care of my body. I need to handle my stress.\u2019 There\u2019s a lot of ways in our job to be better that it\u2019s going to help the overall performance. For the guys, it\u2019s just not basketball. It\u2019s not just shooting the ball. It\u2019s not just playing defense. But it\u2019s everything that we do.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fernandez has leaned on Brooklyn\u2019s veterans to help preach that.<\/p>\n
His preferred starting lineup of Dennis Schroder, Cam Thomas, Cam Johnson, Dorian Finney-Smith and Nic Claxton is their most-used quintet at 98 minutes together, and of three dozen lineups to log 50 minutes together they had the seventh-best Net Rating (13.2) and Defensive Rating (104.6).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe NBA is mentally tough, especially when you\u2019re young. And then the veteran players, they just know how to do it. So we\u2019re getting there,\u201d Fernandez said. \u201cYeah, losing hurts. And it hurts to all of us. But building an identity [is the key]. \u2026 I\u2019ve got to give them the positives, the negatives and the challenges, and then we\u2019ll go from there.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the end of the day, building this foundation, establishing our identity is the most important thing for us, because we have a plan in place, and sustaining this success is what we want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
