Bobby Marks who was with the Nets until a few weeks ago is now on the talk show circuit. He spoke with ESPN's Ian O'Connor Sunday about the upcoming draft --the top of the first round, not the bottom-- and told O'Connor that he and the Nets liked what they saw in Kristaps Porzingis, the 7'1" Latvian center ... they saw a lot.
Because they own the rights to Xavier Thames, the 6'5" point guard who played with Porzingis in Sevilla, they saw a lot of his teammate.
"When I was with the Nets, we were pretty fortunate because he played on the same Spanish team as a player, Xavier Thames, who we drafted last year and those two played together," Marks told O'Connor.
