Jamaal Franklin is, so far, the biggest name reported to have been invited to the Nets free agent mini-camp in Brooklyn this week.
The 6’5” shooting guard is the opposite of the recruits the Nets have checked out in Europe. Instead of the Nets having to travel thousands of miles to scout an international player, Franklin has come to them from China. And although no one is talking on the Nets side, this isn’t the first time Brooklyn has shown interest in the 25-year-old. They took him last September in the D-League expansion draft.
Franklin has become a legend in his three stints in the Chinese Basketball Association and in the last two, he’s averaged close to a triple double.
