On a day when four players the Nets worked out withdrew from the Draft, Steve Lichtenstein of WFAN asks an interesting question: should Nets fans “dampen” their enthusiasm for next month’s NBA Draft?
Lichtenstein argues that last year’s Nets selections — Caris LeVert and Isaiah Whitehead — may have spoiled us. It was after all the team’s best draft since 2008, when the Nets took Brook Lopez, Ryan Anderson and Chris Douglas-Roberts.
“I have to dampen my expectations for next month’s draft, where Brooklyn will select 22nd and 27th in the first round,” Lichtenstein writes. “Marks has set a high bar, but his batting average is bound to dip after this year.
