When Zach Lowe asked Jeremy Woo, who helped compile ESPN’s mock draft, who he thought did a good job on Thursday night, he was quick with the response...
“I like what Brooklyn did, ending staying at both 21 and 22, and going superyoung, taking two teenagers who don’t need to play right away,” said Woo.
He was of course referring to the Nets picks of Noah Clowney, the 6’10” Alabama big, at No. 21, and Dariq Whitehead, the 6’7” Duke wing, at 22. How young are they? Whitehead who doesn’t turn 19 till August 1 is the youngest Nets pick ever, while Clowney will still be 18 till July 15, making him the third youngest ever, behind Derrick Favors who the Nets took in 2010 while still in New Jersey.
