How does a 5' 9" NBA editor land on a fast break defended by a former McDonald’s All-American and UNC standout?
This is the scene from last weekend, when I tried out for the Long Island Nets, the G League affiliate of the Brooklyn Nets. I found myself attempting a layup alongside former Tar Heel star Baden Jaxen.
Two weeks ago I received an email from a PR rep from the Nets that read:
Hey Jarrel, reaching out on behalf of the Brooklyn Nets G League affiliate, the Long Island Nets. We’re having our local player tryouts next week and wanted to gauge your interest in trying out for the team.
