Nets’ Bulgarian “stash” thinks he’s “one to two years” away

In his first interview since being picked by the Nets with the 57th pick, Aleksandar Vezenkov said the Nets had contacted him and will provide him with a development program but that he will focus now on playing for F.C. Barcelona and the Bulgarian national team. As for the NBA, the 6’9” stretch 4, said that he will work with the Nets, but doesn’t see himself in the league for another year or two, maybe more.

The 21-year-old said he watched the Draft with friend and teammate Joro Davidov. He told a Bulgarian national team press conference Saturday that he was surprised to be selected.
