The Nets were supposed to be active in FIBA World Cup Qualifiers this week, but the Nets traded Russia’s Timofey Mozgov and suggesting Argentine stash Juan Pablo Vaulet and Bosnian rookie Dzanan Musa sit out the tournament, only Bulgarian stash Aleksandar Vezenkov saw action in the multi-continent preps for the FIBA World Cup this weekend.
Vezenkov, a 6’9” forward, posted a double-double Tuesday in Bulgaria’s 81-75 loss to the Czech Republic, a game played in the Czech city of Pardubice. Vezenkov had an atypical bad shooting night, going 3-of-8 overall and 1-of-4 from deep for 11 points, but he also snared 10 rebounds, handed out three assists and blocked two shots.
