So far, the Brooklyn Nets have been linked to ninth draft prospects in some form.
Of those eight players, five are taking the traditional path from the college ranks to the NBA: Maryland big man Jalen Smith, TCU sharpshooter Desmond Bane, Memphis forward Precious Achiuwa, Stanford guard Tyrell Terry and Kentucky guard Immanuel Quickley.
Two others started their professional basketball careers overseas to prepare for the NBA: New Zealand Breakers guard RJ Hampton and SE Melbourne wing Terry Armstrong.
Then there’s Moravian Prep wing Josh Hall, who, up until recently, had been the only prep-to-pro prospect who’d been linked to Brooklyn.
But another name has been added to that list: Karim Mane.
According to Jake Weingarten of Stockrisers, the Nets are one of the 25-plus teams who’ve met with the 6-foot-5 20-year-old.
Mane had offers to play at the collegiate level for Kansas, Marquette, Maryland, Texas, Michigan State, Wake Forest, and Xavier, per ESPN.
If the Nets were to select Mane, it would be with their second-round selection (No. 55).
