A league source told ESPNNewYork.com that there is a “strong likelihood,” that Nets second-round pick Tornike Shengelia will make the roster.
The New York Post, citing a source, said Shengelia will get a two-year contract.
Nothing is official yet, but a source confirmed to ESPNNewYork.com that will probably be the length of the deal.
Shengelia, 20, will become the 13th Net under contract -- pending his deal and Keith Bogans’ deal being made official.
The Nets acquired the 6-9 Georgian forward’s rights on draft night after he was taken 54th overall. He ended up playing really well for Brooklyn in the summer league.
The Nets had to buy him out from his old team, Charleroi Spirou.
