While the tanking Nets were losing to the visiting Celtics, two of the prospects they\u2019re tanking for were on the other side of the East River at the Garden.<\/p>\n
Can\u2019t-miss prospects Cameron Boozer and Darryn Peterson will be a lottery pick away from joining the Nets. But Tuesday they were five miles away, with Boozer\u2019s Duke team taking on Peterson\u2019s Kansas squad at the Champions Classic.<\/p>\n
It was supposed to be a teaser of just what the Nets are hoping to land with their 2026 lottery pick they\u2019re tanking so hard for this season. Peterson missing the game with a hamstring injury was a reminder of just how uncertain fate is. But what\u2019s sure is the Nets are intent on maximizing their pick to draft a star.<\/p>\n
