On a similar note, what happened to the European center that the Net's chose in the 1st round? I haven't heard much about him since draft night.
Nenad Krstic. He's a 6'11" teenager--18 or so, I think, from Yugoslovia. I'm not sure how the rules on this work, but the Nets deliberately did not offer him a contract, and they knew they wouldn't when they drafted him. He's playing in a European league, but apparently the Nets retain his rights. By not signing him, they save cap room, I guess. But as I said, I'm not sure how the rules on this work and why they retain the right to sign him for next season.
