Turkish reporter: Nets among teams interested in Jan Vesely

Jan Vesely, the 6'11" Czech big man whose NBA career was best known for the passionate kiss he gave his girlfriend on Draft Night 2011, has garnered the Nets interest, according to a respected Turkish basketball writer.

Vesely, who played his season in Turkey, was ultimately dumped by the Wizards who drafted him that night and the Nuggets, returning to Europe where he has resurrected his career both in Euroleague and FIBA play. In a preseason game last October, Vesely scored 18 points and grabbed six rebounds in Fenerbahce's 110-96 win over the Nets.

Sportando, the European hoops blog, quoted a Turkish tweet by the writer that the Nets, Mavericks and Pelicans are all interested in the 26-year-old.
