After Nets general manager Sean Marks’ initial first-round picks vastly outperformed their draft positions, fans have barely seen rookie Dzanan Musa. Though Caris LeVert and Jarret Allen got thrown into the fire, Musa has been tossed into the G-League.
But the Nets don’t view it as a disappointment, but an opportunity.
Despite LeVert’s injury, they’re still deeper than they were when he arrived in 2016. And Musa, who is just 19 — the second-youngest in team history and one of the youngest in the G-League — is getting a chance not only to learn the game, but to learn a whole new position as he is groomed as a point guard.
