Top undrafted player to sign with the Nets

DraftExpress: Brian Zoubek will play summer league with the New Jersey Nets in Orlando.

Brian Zoubek - Center (Duke) - I've got to give a shout-out to a fellow Haddonfield, NJ native. Zoubek has the size and basketball IQ to at least be a Joel Pryzbilla-like defender and rebounder.

The Nets are piecing together their team for the Orlando Summer League – practice starts next week at the PNY Center – and they’ve received commitments from Duke center Brian Zoubek and Tulsa guard Ben Uzoh.

The undrafted Zoubek, the 7-1 Haddonfield native, had a rock-solid workout for the Nets on June 11, and his enthusiasm was obvious: He wanted very badly to land here.

“Right off the bat I would play defense, rebound, and compete,” he said. “I think I can play off those guys offensively and be efficient. With Brook Lopez, either I’d come off the bench and help him out, or start us together.”

He surely isn't lacking in confidence (saying he could start with Brook)
