The Long Island Nets will head to Las Vegas this week for the annual NBA G League Winter Showcase with at least two players who could look to jump start their NBA dreams with a good showing in the team’s two games at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.
The Showcase provides G League players — the overwhelming majority of whom are NBA free agents — an opportunity to show their stuff in front of general managers and talent evaluators from all 30 NBA teams.
Rookie Jordan McLaughlin has been a bolt of lightning for the Nets after joining them in training camp.
