But having already spent two seasons in San Antonio has Quinndary Weatherspoon feeling right at home with Brooklyn.<\/p>\n<p>The Nets and Spurs play each other in Sunday\u2019s summer league <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>, and in many ways they\u2019ve been a flip side of the same coin in terms of system, scheme and even terminology. And Weatherspoon has seen both sides of that coin.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt helped me a lot, just because I\u2019m coming from San Antonio. And a lot of the guys here in the front office, they came from San Antonio. So it\u2019s almost like a second family. Just using the same terminology, just going about the business the same way,\u201d Weatherspoon told The Post. \u201cSo I think just me coming from San Antonio and coming here, I think it helped me a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since GM Sean Marks arrived in 2016 \u2014 bringing a host of former Spurs with him \u2014 the Nets have largely mirrored the San Antonio culture. The front office is littered with ex-Spurs, and even assistant Jacque Vaughn (who was largely responsible for installing their defense) came from San Antonio as well.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-style-default\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"686\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Quinndary-Weatherspoon.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1024\" alt=\"Quinndary Weatherspoon\" class=\"wp-image-19135532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Quinndary-Weatherspoon.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Quinndary-Weatherspoon.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Quinndary-Weatherspoon.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Quinndary Weatherspoon<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">NBAE via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cAnytime you get anyone with NBA experience, there\u2019s a head up on some of the rookies coming from draft workouts. And then two years in that program, overall, wherever he goes, he\u2019s probably more advanced,\u201d coach Jordan Ott told The Post. \u201cThen the similar terminology, way things work, culture as San Antonio, I\u2019m sure allowed him to be a little more comfortable earlier. But he stood out from Day 1.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Weatherspoon had been a 2019 second-round pick by San Antonio, spending two years on a two-way deal. He played 31 games with the Spurs, and 35 more with their G-League affiliate in Austin, averaging 14.8 points and 5.1 assists.<\/p>\n<p>Now in summer league with the Nets, Weatherspoon could well earn another two-way deal with Brooklyn. One Eastern Conference scout that spoke with The Post was left impressed with the 6-foot-3 guard\u2019s physicality and savvy play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, Q\u2019s great,\u201d Ott said. \u201cGreat to have in our summer league team. Again, another downhill driver, aggressive. Just his physicality, you could see his NBA size. His NBA experience comes out at times, offensively and defensively.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve asked him at times to pick up full court. He\u2019s accepted that, bringing some of the defensive mentality that we were hoping to find in Summer League. He\u2019s definitely shown more than capable to guard on the basketball at this level.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Weatherspoon comes into Sunday\u2019s game against his old team leading his new one in assists, second in scoring (12.3 points) and third in steals. And though former Mississippi State teammate Reggie Perry just had his qualifying offer rescinded, Weatherspoon has impressed and is looking to nail down a spot with the Nets.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout his stay in Las Vegas, Weatherspoon has shown a penchant for getting to the rim, evidenced by an impressive driving dunk vs. Memphis. Now the biggest task is learning to trust his jumper and space the floor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes sir, just being able to take that open shot with confidence. The drive\u2019s not always there. And just being able to read close-outs better,\u201d Weatherspoon said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust coming out, [the coaches] just liked how hard I play, my intensity on defense. But I think I\u2019m turning down a lot of open shots that I need to prove that I can make. It\u2019s just with me playing more confidence in just believing in my shot that I put a lot of work in this summer.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
