Sean Marks, despite having all those draft picks zapped away from him by various GM’s over what felt like a decade, has done a pretty, pretty good job at digging out young talent when he’s had the opportunity.
Caris LeVert and Jarrett Allen were first round picks who became starters on a playoff team this season. Very cool! You know who else was a Nets draft pick and started in the playoffs? Rodions Kurucs, who was taken in the second round! Yes, you read that correctly, three of the Nets five starters were picks Marks acquired to make up for all that history .
