“#Nets’ Day\u2019Ron Sharpe slimmed down to improve conditioning<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

LAS VEGAS \u2014 In the case of Day\u2019Ron Sharpe, less may be more.<\/p>\n

With DeAndre Jordan out of the rotation, the Nets could use a big-bodied center. They drafted Sharpe out of North Carolina in the first round amidst questions about his conditioning. His having shed 25 pounds over the past few months without losing any physicality show he could be answering some of those questions.<\/p>\n

\u201cDay\u2019Ron\u2019s physicality on both sides of the glass [is showing]. So offensively and defensive glass, you can feel it right away,\u201d Nets summer league coach Jordan Ott told The Post. \u201cHe\u2019s strong, aggressive, you can see his motor. So that piece is going to stick instantly, right now with us in summer league. We\u2019re going to be able to feel him. So every day, they\u2019re going to try to get better.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Sharpe, part of getting better is also getting better conditioned. He said he played last season for UNC at 270 pounds and began the predraft process at 278.<\/p>\n

The last time he got weighed, two days before the Nets, via the Suns, took him with the 29th pick, he was down to 253.<\/p>\n

\u201cMan, it was conditioning in the morning, then work out, running, conditioning. I\u2019d probably go again to the sauna or the hot blanket, sweating,\u201d said Sharpe. \u201cI\u2019d have a light breakfast, a salad for lunch, salmon or steak for dinner. So I was eating healthy, not a lot of heavy stuff. And I was more active: running, sweating more. So a lot of treadmill work, on the elliptical arc. I started on the treadmill, run, on-court, sauna, sweat blanket, hills. You name it, I was doing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sharpe had already shown surprising mobility for his size at UNC, but the weight loss has helped him in the Nets\u2019 switching defense. Still, staying in front of guards out on the perimeter is going to be an adjustment, one he\u2019ll be getting used to over the next couple of weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe switch everything 1-through-5. I\u2019ve been trying to [show] I\u2019ll be working on it, showing I could defend outside a little bit, as much as I can,\u201d Sharpe told The Post. \u201cSo it\u2019s been a little hard, though. So I\u2019m just getting here, trying to get used to the speed of things.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Nets made Kevin Durant\u2019s multiyear contract extension official Sunday.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a four-year, $198 million deal that Durant announced on his own media<\/a> platform, Boardroom. The deal kicks in after the upcoming season and will end when he is 37.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe know who he is,\u201d Nets team owner Joe Tsai said in a statement. \u201cKevin Durant will establish his legacy in Brooklyn as one of the greatest ever. On behalf of the Nets organization, my family and our fans, we are excited and humbled to see a lot of Kevin for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tsai was channeling Durant\u2019s most famous self-proclamation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m Kevin Durant,\u201d he\u2019d said in the 2019 playoffs. \u201cYou know who I am. Y\u2019all know who I am.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guard Quinndary Weatherspoon (right ankle) took a knock Friday and sat out Sunday\u2019s practice. But he was back on the court and will be fine for Monday\u2019s opener versus Memphis.<\/p>\n

Nets free agent signee Patty Mills was named to FIBA\u2019s All-Star Five \u2014 essentially first team All-Olympics \u2014 after a 42-point performance for Australia in the bronze medal game<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey yo, Patty coming back to the BK. Black-and-white,\u201d Durant said while celebrating with his new teammate. \u201cHey, you were balling. You had 40.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
