The Nets drafted Aleksandar Vezenkov of FC Barcelona with the No. 57 pick. The Cypriot power forward will continue to play in Spain. The 6’9” stretch 4 was described by Sean Marks as an “elite shooter.” Marks personally scouted Vezenkov in March.
A dual citizen of Bulgaria and the Mediterranean island nation of Cyprus, the 21-year-ld Vezenkov is not just a shooter. He is a scorer, as Draft Express reported...
At 6-9, 225 pounds, Vezenkov has decent size for the power forward position he mostly plays, even if he lacks athleticism in a serious way.
