After trading up with the Utah Jazz, the Brooklyn Nets selected Isaiah Whitehead with the 42nd pick in this year’s draft.
The combo guard came into the draft after a successful senior year at Seton Hall, one in which he averaged 18.2 points, 5.1 assists, 3.6 rebounds, and 1.2 steals per game.
In that senior year, Whitehead showed impressive growth and anchored a Seton Hall team that won the Big East Conference championship and appeared in the NCAA tournament.
With the selection, Whitehead joined a crowded backcourt of the Nets. This consists of a stash of young players, including Yogi Ferrell, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson, Bojan Bogdanovic, Caris LeVert, Sean Kilpatrick, and Joe Harris, all of whom Whitehead will be competing for playing time with.
