No offseason for Nets’ McCullough
Brooklyn Power Forward Busy Preparing for 2016-17 Campaign
While LeBron James and Steph Curry began battling it out for NBA supremacy Thursday night, Nets power forward Chris McCullough stayed hard at work at Downtown’s Barclays Center and the team’s new practice facility in Sunset Park, continuing his quest to become a difference maker for Brooklyn’s NBA franchise.
McCullough, whom the Nets chose with the 29th overall selection in the 2015 NBA Draft, only got to play in 24 games during his rookie campaign after making a long, hard recovery from a devastating knee injury that derailed his final season at Syracuse University.
The 6-foot-11 Bronx native averaged 4.7 points per game and 2.8 rebounds while logging just over 15 minutes per night as the Nets completed a disastrous 21-61 campaign with 10 consecutive defeats.
