The rumors started during the Nets-76ers series. Brooklyn, according to various reports, has the 6’9” stretch-4 on its short list, a hometown boy (Dix Hills, Long Island). As the 26-year-old proved vs. the Nets, he’s a versatile player not afraid of the big game. And he’s a high character guy, being one of the finalists for the NBA’s Community Assist Award.
Of course, he’s not Kevin Durant, not Kawhi Leonard, believed to be the Nets top targets but he’d be a huge upgrade nonetheless.
Earlier this week, Michael Scotto wrote the Nets were among four teams — as well as the Sixers — with interest.
