In their first roster move of the season, the Nets brought in Dru Smith on Friday to fill the open two-way spot created a day earlier.
The 6-foot-3 point guard had been a two-way with the Heat earlier this season. He takes the open spot vacated when rookie point guard Alondes Williams was waived on Thursday., and second-year guard David Duke Jr. is the other two-way.
When Brooklyn parted ways with Williams — an undrafted rookie who surprisingly had been handed a two-way, then preceded to struggle in the G-League — there were a number of players at Long Island who could have been converted, such as 21-year-old rookie Donovan ‘Stretch’ Williams or veteran point guard Chris Chiozza, who won an NBA championship with Golden State.Dru Smith will add another defensive asset to the Nets’ roster.Smith, 25, is a defensive-minded point guard.
Former Nets player development coach Kyle Korver is finalizing a deal to become assistant general manager of the Hawks, according to ESPN. Korver, who played in the NBA for 17 seasons, had spent the past several months as Atlanta’s director of player affairs and development. One of the great 3-point shooters in NBA history — and originally drafted by the Nets — Korver had spent last season with he Nets working in player development.
