The Nets’ retooling continued on Friday.
The team is signing former Wichita State and Arkansas star wing Ricky Council IV to a one-year deal, ESPN reported.
The undrafted Council had a solid year for the 76ers, averaging 7.3 points and 2.9 rebounds in 72 games. He was waived in late July.

Council is a super-athletic guard who needs to improve his 3-point shot.
He made only 25.8 percent from deep last season, although he did shoot 37.5 percent as a rookie in 2023-24.
Council joins experienced newcomers Terance Mann and Michael Porter Jr. on the roster.
