Nets bring in Morez Johnson for workout ahead of NBA Draft

The Brooklyn Nets have conducted a workout with Michigan forward Morez Johnson as they prepare for the 2026 NBA Draft. Johnson, who helped Michigan secure a national championship, has seen a rise in his draft stock and is now generating lottery interest after having been rated as a late first-round pick. With the No. 6 overall selection, the Nets are considering multiple prospects and examining trade-up options to secure a higher pick. Alongside Johnson, they have also shown interest in other players, including Keaton Wagler and Darius Acuff Jr. Johnson's workout indicates the Nets are weighing their options ahead of the draft, which could also signal potential strategies like a trade back or acquisition of another pick.
