The first media interviews with Draft prospects took place Monday. Prospects spoke to NBA media via Zoom about who they’ve talked with, who they’d like to join, etc.
Among the first interviews were LaMelo Ball, slated as the overall No. 1 in many mock drafts, and 6’10” Maryland power forward Jalen Smith who’s been tagged as a late lottery/top 20 pick. He’s been linked to the Nets, who pick at No. 19, on more than one draft and he said the Nets were aggressive in getting in touch and interviewing him.
Brian Lewis tweeted out Smith’s comments regarding the Nets.
