The Brooklyn Nets drafted Jalen Wilson 51st overall, meaning he will be coached by former Kansas basketball standout Jacque Vaughn.
With the extensive lineage of talent they’ve produced, Kansas Jayhawks players can be found throughout all levels of professional basketball. That is no exception for the Brooklyn Nets, who now have a former Jayhawk as head coach and player.
Jacque Vaughn is one of the best playmakers to ever step foot in Allen Fieldhouse. His 804 career assists sit at No. 2 in Kansas basketball history, and he enjoyed a decade-long career in the NBA.
