Surprise! General manager Sean Marks has the Brooklyn Nets’ organization buttoned up tighter than a vest on Thanksgiving right now, so the usual draft rumors and workouts have only leaked out at a crawling pace. However, Marks and head coach Kenny Atkinson will do all they can to search every league, continent, and late-second round sleeper to fill out a more competitive team in 2016-2017.
While dates and times are unknown at this point, it’s fair to say that the Nets will be armed to the teeth with information on draft night. In order to quell any lingering anxiousness, here’s a list of names that the Nets have or will workout or interview ahead of the June 23rd’s draft.
As an added bonus, we’ve included any overseas, international, or D-League players that the Nets have worked with as well. At this point, some of these names will likely end up on Brooklyn’s summer league rosters.
