Summary
Joshua Jefferson, Iowa State’s breakout star, stunned fans by being drafted 28th by the Timberwolves—thanks to a wild three-team trade involving the Nets, Bulls, and Randle. Though he didn’t get the green room invite, he showed up and watched his dream unfold live. Bleacher Report slams the Nets’ pick with a “D-plus,” not because Jefferson isn’t elite—he’s a two-way glue guy with elite playmaking potential—but because Brooklyn’s roster is already stacked with ball-handlers and he’ll play behind stars like Porter Jr. and Randle. His ceiling isn’t sky-high, but his floor is solid, making him a perfect fit for a playoff team needing a versatile bench forward—unfortunately, not the Nets.
