The Brooklyn Nets have promoted B.J. Johnson to assistant general manager, succeeding Jeff Peterson, who has moved to the Charlotte Hornets. Johnson, who has been with the Nets since 2016, has been credited for his talent evaluation skills and was instrumental in the successful drafting of players like Nic Claxton and Jalen Wilson. In addition to Johnson's promotion, the Nets have restructured their performance team, with veteran sports scientist Ben Williams taking over as director of high performance. Johnson will lead amateur scouting and continue to oversee the team's NBA Draft preparations. The reshuffle comes as the Nets aim to strengthen their front office following the departures of Peterson and Ryan Gisriel. Johnson's promotion is part of a broader strategy to enhance the team's scouting and drafting capabilities as they rebuild their roster.
