The Brooklyn Nets pulled off one of the bigger surprises of the 2017 NBA Draft when they selected Texas center Jarrett Allen with the 22nd overall pick.
In 2016, the Nets shocked many by trading for Michigan wing Caris LeVert — whose stock had faded because of two foot injuries in his final two seasons in Ann Arbor — getting LeVert with the 20th overall pick from Indiana.
On the eve of the 2018 NBA Draft, the Nets are doing little to tip their hand, even as speculation circulates that Marks may look to move up from the 29th overall pick, acquired from Toronto in the DeMarre Carroll deal, into the lottery area.
