Should the Nets consider taking Mikel Brown Jr. in the 2026 NBA Draft?
The Brooklyn Nets have the No. 6 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft and Nathan Grubel of No Ceilings NBA believes they should take Mikel Brown Jr.
The Brooklyn Nets came away from the 2026 NBA Draft with the unfortunate result of not only sliding down from the No. 3 pick that they started with, but ending up at No. 6.
While Brooklyn was one of many teams hoping for the luck needed to get the No. 1 selection, they still have the chance to add an impact player who could be an interesting choice. "They took a lot of guys [in 2025] who can handle and, to an extent, dribble, pass, shoot, but they didn't necessarily find that one awesome lead guard, in my opinion, who will set this team up for success for the long term.
That's why this team should swing for the fences and take Mikel Brown Jr. out of Louisville," Nathan Grubel on a recent Locked On NBA Draft podcast. Brown hasn't been mocked to the Nets as of this writing, but that doesn't mean he should be outside of consideration.
