Plumlee ‘in consideration’ for Team USA
Nets Center Could Land Coveted Spot on World Cup Roster
Going from afterthought to highly thought-of is becoming a trend for Nets center Mason Plumlee.
Just over a year ago on NBA Draft Night at the Barclays Center, the 7-footer was selected by Brooklyn in the opening round, but spent most of the evening answering questions about his soon-to-be new teammates Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Jason Terry.
Little did anyone know at the time that Plumlee would prove just as vital to the Nets’ second straight push to the playoffs as any of those highly accomplished championship-level players, two of whom are no longer with the team.
