To be honest, there has been a bit of grumbling to be heard since the Brooklyn Nets chose forward Dzanan Musa from Bosnia and Herzegovina and Cedevita Zagreb with the 29th overall pick in last week’s NBA Draft.
Some have argued that a player deemed more NBA-ready such as Ohio State prospect Keita Bates-Diop (taken 48th overall by the Minnesota Timberwolves) would have been a better pick for the Nets.
But when looking at the 20 players taken in the first round at No. 29 overall prior to Musa, one finds a serious dearth of guys who had any real impact on the league.
