The Brooklyn Nets have had plenty of players come through the franchise since its inception and the organization has always been committed to putting out a great product. Brooklyn is currently trying to rebuild after the breakup of the Big 3 in the hopes of getting back to playoff contention sometime soon and there is a former player who is looking to get back in the league.
“Good morning @NBA, I was wondering if any teams had a training camp spot for an kind chap like myself,” former Nets forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson said on X. Hollis-Jefferson began his NBA career with the Nets after being taken by the Portland Trail Blazers with the 23rd overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft out of Arizona before being dealt to Brooklyn.
“I’m like a SUV got a lot of travel miles but for the long haul(long season) you can count on me,” Hollis-Jefferson continued on his post in his attempt to lobby other NBA teams for a training camp invite. “I also keep good air flow amongst the team. I also can guard just about anyone.”
Hollis-Jefferson, 30, played his first four years in the NBA with the Nets and based on the numbers, those were his best years in the league. Hollis-Jefferson averaged 9.9 points, 5.9 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.0 steals per game while shooting 44.4% from the field and 22.3% from three-point land. Heading into the 2019-20 season, Hollis-Jefferson joined the Toronto Raptors before playing finally playing for the Trail Blazers during the 2020-21 campaign.
“I also don’t mind getting guys better in practice,” Hollis-Jefferson continued in his post while trying to show what his worth would be to any team looking for a veteran presence. “Pushing them to the next level. Make it tough in practice scrimmage when necessary for the core guys to be elite in game situations!” Hollis-Jefferson has effectively been out of the NBA since the 2020-21 season, but he is still 30 years old and could have something left in the tank.
