Nets Sign ‘Plum’ of a Pick
Ink first-round center from Duke as Summer League slate approaches
Mason Plumlee spent last summer working as an intern for Barclays Wealth Management.
“I wasn’t the smartest guy there, but I worked really hard and hopefully that showed,” the Nets’ first-round pick intimated shortly after learning he’d be playing professional basketball in the Barclays Center right here in the heart of Downtown Brooklyn.
The Nets didn’t waste any time securing their young big man, signing him to a contract Wednesday morning in advance of the team’s Summer League schedule.
