Michael Scotto of The Athletic reports that the Nets are among several teams who have worked out 22-year-old Chinese power forward Abudushalamu Abudurexiti from Xinjiang Guanghui Flying Tigers, a pro team in the far west of China.
Scotto reports the 6’10” Abudurexiti has worked out for the Mavericks, Lakers, Bucks, Suns and Jazz in addition to the Nets. (A number of those teams, including Brooklyn, traveled to Phoenix for a multi-team workout.)
Although Abudurexiti averaged only 6.9 points and 4.1 rebounds in the Chinese league, scouts see his potential as a stretch 4, reported Scotto, who called him the NBA Draft’s “mystery man” .
