Sean Marks wasn’t in his usual seat at Barclays Center Wednesday night. Nor was he in his office at the arena or HSS Training Center. Instead, he was 40 miles away with assistant GM B.J. Johnson in the stands at a Big 10 game between Rutgers and Illinois at Jersey Mike’s Arena in Piscataway, N.J.
@SavetheNets captured this image of the two watching draft prospects Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey of Rutgers as well as Kasparas Jakuu010dionis of Illinois, a 6’6” point guard who like the Rutgers duo is seen as a top five pick
