The Brooklyn Nets are in need to improve their second unit, especially after losing Spencer Dinwiddie for the remainder of the season with an ACL injury.

Therefore, Steve Nash decided to sign veteran Iman Shumpert, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania.

The 30 year-old, will play a big role for Brooklyn by playing with intensity as well as creating even more size for an already big squad.

Shumpert, who spent a month with the Nets last season, averaged 4.2 points and 2.6 rebounds through 13 games.

The team's dynamic won't be nothing new for 'Shump', considering he was a teammate of Kyrie Irving on the Cleveland Cavaliers team that won the 2016 NBA championship.

The 17th pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, hasalso played for the Houston Rockets, Sacramento Kings and New York Knicks.
