Nets promote B.J. Johnson as GM Sean Marks reshuffles front office
NY Post
The Nets will promote draft guru B.J. Johnson to assistant general manager, The Post has learned.
The move will come as part of a host of reshuffling moves in Brooklyn’s front office.
Johnson has been with the organization since shortly after general manager Sean Marks arrived in 2016.
He’d served as a player development coordinator, before being promoted to senior director of college scouting and player evaluation.
Johnson’s eye for college talent has helped the Nets draft well over the past few years.
He has run their drafts for the past four years, and is largely credited with prodding the Nets to take Nic Claxton in 2019 and Jalen Wilson in 2023, both in the second round.
He first stepped onto the ice wearing Rangers regalia at the club’s 2019 development camp conducted at Chelsea Piers in Stamford while the Tarrytown training facility was undergoing a renovation.
