Vaulet, the Nets only stashed draft pick, will spend six days, starting Tuesday, with the Nets, taking advantage of a break in the the Argentine league schedule. He was drafted and stashed in 2015 by the Billy King regime, and has yet to meet Sean Marks, assistant GM Trajan Langdon or Kenny Atkinson, he said.
“Since the draft, my rights have been held by Brooklyn” he told Basquet Plus. “But the leadership from that time has changed. So this trip offered me a chance to go to meet the new managers, talk about my situation and also show who I am.
“I hope they tell me a little about my situation, whether they are interested in me or not, what it is they want from me and what they see ... I do not have much an idea of what is going to happen. I will find out there.”
He expects most of his time will be spent working out —”training”— with the Nets staff. He expects to attend Nets games, presumably starting Wednesday. “I will be with the team,” he said. Vaulet also expects to renew his friendship with fellow Argentine Luis Scola who told NetsDaily in preseason that he “believes” in Vaulet’s talent and character.
He believes he can make it in the NBA.
For those not familiar, Vaulet was selected 39th in the 15' draft. We acquired him from Charlotte for cash + 2 second rounders (2019). Another overpay by Billy King.
He's drawn playing style comparisons to Manu Ginobili. He's actually been coached by Manu's brother for most of his professional life but has been plagued by ankle injuries for the last couple of seasons stunting his development.
Should we hold onto his rights?
