For the first time since 2013, the Brooklyn Nets are on track to have their own first-round selection in the NBA Draft.
The 17th pick in the draft belongs to the Nets, who also own the Denver Nuggets’ first-round selection at No. 27 overall and the New York Knicks second-round pick, which falls at the top of the round at No. 31 overall.
Their second-round pick was traded in June 2015 by former general manager Billy King along with last year’s second-rounder to the Charlotte Hornets for the rights to Argentine draft-and-forever-stash Juan Pablo Vaulet.
