New Brooklyn Nets head coach Jordi Fernandez has set a tough and demanding tone in training camp, as noted by Brian Lewis of the New York Post. This rigorous environment seems to be fostering a strong work ethic among the players, who are adjusting to Fernandez’s expectations.
Forward Dorian Finney-Smith expressed his views on the intensity of the first week of camp, echoing the sentiments of his teammates. “We’re going to be well-conditioned,” Finney-Smith stated, highlighting the emphasis on physical readiness under Fernandez’s leadership.
He also mentioned the positive feedback he received about the new coach from others in the league: “The people I talk to around the league, they all had great things to say about him, so I knew what to expect. I heard he was a hard worker and he’d want us to compete. That’s what he’s been asking us.”
Finney-Smith’s confidence in Fernandez’s approach reflects the broader sentiment within the team. With a focus on conditioning and competition, it appears that the Nets are gearing up for a demanding season ahead, ready to embrace the challenges presented by their new coach.
