NEW YORK — The Brooklyn Nets have made it to the playoffs with the current roster, but the organization and the fanbase are still clamoring for a championship. UConn sharpshooter Jordan Hawkins feels that if he were selected by the Nets in the 2023 NBA Draft, he would bring his championship mindset to the franchise. Hawkins spoke to Nets Wire about his draft experience and potential fit with Brooklyn.
“It’s been great,” Hawkins said when asked about how the draft experience has treated him so far. Hawkins, 21, comes into the draft having helped lead the Huskies to win the 2023 NCAA championship and earning numerous accolades in the process. Hawkins is regarded as a player who can make an impact right away through his shooting and he isn’t shy to admit that.
“I probably impact every team with my shooting,” Hawkins explained when asked what he can bring to the Nets if selected by them in the first round. Brooklyn, like every other team in the league, can use more shooting, especially at the guard spot. “That’s how I impact that (the Nets) team and on the defensive end as well,” Hawkins continued. “Just (bring) a championship mindset to the teams.”
