The Nets now have six draft stashes, five overseas and one with Long Island. It’s their most ever, having added three over the summer.
Of the six, two are having outstanding years: Isaia Cordinier, the 6’5” French point guard acquired in the Jeremy Lin trade in 2018, and Jaylen Hands, the 6’3” UCLA point who was taken with the 56th pick in last year’s draft. The Nets acquired the pick in a Draft Night trade.
Cordinier, who wowed Nets fans with his athleticism in the summer league, is averaging 13 points a game for Nanterre in the French League, but he’s getting kudos for his leadership.
