Lost in the Allen Crabbe salary dump Thursday, and the picks Brooklyn attached to the deal – #17 in June’s NBA Draft along with a lottery protected 2020 first – the Nets got a capable player back in the deal.
Taurean Prince comes to Brooklyn with a 2021 second round pick from the Hawks. The Nets will likely have the Baylor product be a cheaper option than DeMarre Carroll. Prince can fill Carroll’s role as a Swiss Army Knife (of sorts) on both ends, playing both small and power forwards as well as spot up among Nets primary ball handlers.
