The Brooklyn Nets had Sean Marks as their unanimous selection to become general manager.

“We knew immediately, this is our guy,” Nets' chairman Dmitry Razumov said.

The Nets liked Marks' demeanor, optimism and pedigree.

Marks said he had a set vision for the team, one he hoped to execute as a collaborative process with the front office and coaching staff.

When describing the advantage Marks had over other candidates, Razumov said, “the culture of the team that Sean is coming from was too persuasive.”
