Will Nets bring another Brooklyn boy home?
Our Bryan Fonseca recently caught up with Brooklyn-born NBA prospect Rawle Alkins. Alkins worked out with the Nets last year and has been one of many on their radar. It happened before, two years ago to be exact. When the Nets made Isaiah Whitehead the 42nd overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, the Coney Island product became the first Brooklyn born baller to call the Barclays Center home at the NBA level. Rawle Alkins – a Canarsie native who once attended Christ the King High School in Middle Village, Queens – could be next. Alkins initially entered the NBA Draft last year after his...

New name on Draft horizon?
Keita Bates-Diop, the 6’8” defensive-minded Ohio State swingman, has become a new name in the mix for the Nets 29th pick ... if they keep it. In recent days, both ESPN and CBS Sports have suggested that KBD would be an ideal fit for Brooklyn. Moreover, he’s been endorsed by his former OSU teammate, D’Angelo Russell. On Monday, ESPN’s Mike Schmitz called Bates-Diop a “perfect pick” for the Nets, part of ESPN’s annual Grade A mock draft, one where their writers focus on which prospects teams pick. At close to 6-foot-9 with a near-7-4 wingspan and fluid athleticism,...

Timofey Mozgov doubles down on criticism of Kenny Atkinson
For the second time in the last 10 days, Timofey Mozgov has criticized his treatment by Kenny Atkinson.

It was a hard one and really bad. The breaking point came quite unexpectedly. The coach just said: “This is the situation we have”. There...

How workouts help Nets in 2019, “third round” this year
In talking about how “smart teams” look a the Draft process, Adrian Wojnarowski and ESPN Draft Analyst Mike Schmitz spoke this week about the value of working out a lot of players, even those who were likely to drop out before the May 31 (college) and June 11 (international) deadlines. Both said they thought teams —like the Nets— who work out a lot of prospects a have a leg up on the next draft because they accumulate a great deal of data on those players who go back to school or their home countries. “If you’re a smart team, you bring in as many guys as you can,” said...

With rumors afoot, Sir Charles is pulling out all the stops, creating Draft Cards for all possibilities. We are working him hard. We’re almost there. The NBA Draft is creeping up on us, and seemingly, for Nets fans, the attention has shifted not from who the Nets will pick – but where they’ll pick. Will it be 4, 11, 14, or 29? Who knows. (I guess some people do, but the only source I have is the NetsDaily comments section.) Here are five more 3&D (or just “3” or “D” prospects) the Nets can take a look at.
