The NBA Draft came and went, and was as chaotic as expected. Sean Marks and Kenny Atkinson are putting together something special in Brooklyn, and it starts with last night’s draft picks.
With their second round pick, the Nets selected Aleksandar Vezenkov of FC Barcelona, where he will continue to play. A solid stretch four, this kid is a shooter. Through thirty-five games in the Spanish League, he averaged 8.7 points and 3.1 rebounds, while shooting 35 percent from three, and 69.4 from the mid-range.
For the Nets, Vezenkov is a draft and stash. At 6-foot-9 and 225 pounds, he certainly has the size to compete in the NBA.
