Brooklyn Nets

Draft Picks: Caris LeVert No. 20 (From Indiana), Isaiah Whitehead No. 42 (From Brooklyn)

The Nets are officially in complete rebuilding mode; dealing Thaddeus Young to the Pacers prior to the draft. Also building for the 2017 draft seems bleak with the Celtics having the option to swap first rounders with the Nets once again.

As for this draft, LeVert has battled injuries and his injury concerns might have effected his draft stock, but the Nets took a chance on him at 20. LeVert could develop into a reliable scorer. Whitehead has turnover problems, but can shoot relatively well; probably won’t be on an NBA roster next season.

Grade: C

Next: Chicago Bulls
