The Brooklyn Nets could be looking at a changing of the guard at the point guard spot come free agency and added some depth at the position with the 56th overall pick in the NBA Draft Thursday night, selecting Jaylen Hands of UCLA.
The pick came from the LA Clippers in a trade that sent the No. 27 pick to LA. Brooklyn also got a lottery-protected 2020 first-round pick that originally came from the Philadelphia 76ers in the deal.
Hands entered the draft after his sophomore season at UCLA, where his assist numbers shot up in his second season … as did his turnovers.
