Former Sacramento Kings assistant coach Jordi Fernandez, now head coach of the Brooklyn Nets, plans to implement the same fast-paced offensive system that propelled the Kings to a historic offensive rating in 2022. Fernandez emphasizes Ben Simmons' playmaking abilities and believes the combination of Simmons and Cam Thomas can lead to a significant improvement in the Nets' offensive performance.
Back in 2022, then-assistant coach Jordi Fernandez and the Sacramento Kings recorded the highest offensive rating in league history . While the feat was almost immeditately overshadowed by the eventual- NBA champion Boston Celtics , Indiana Pacers and Oklahoma City Thunder in 2023, Fernandez still contributed to what statsitically is a top-five offense of all time.
"We want to play fast," Fernandez said while praising the playmaking ability of Ben Simmons. For context, Brooklyn had the 23rd best offensive rating among their counterparts last season at a measley 113.2. Amid a total overhaul, while the Nets' talent doesn't mirror that of the Kings, a jump in rating seems inevitable.
