In case you already forgot, this was the third straight summer where the Nets made an unexpected draft pick in the first round of the yearly selection process.
The follow-up act to 2016’s Caris LeVert and 2017’s Jarrett Allen was Dzanan Musa, taken 29th or next-to-last in the first round.
Musa didn’t expect his name to be called by Brooklyn either … until 24 hours earlier.
The 6’9” Bosnian forward revisited his draft night with NetsDaily at Media Day on Monday, when he noted the Nets were “probably the last team” he spoke with in the pre-draft process.
