After previous reporting had indicated that Ricky Council IV was signing with the Nets on a partially-guaranteed deal, Nets Daily now reports (via Twitter) that Council will not, in fact, be joining Brooklyn.
Council was poised to join the Nets after being waived by the Sixers after two seasons in Philadelphia, during which time he averaged 6.7 points and 2.5 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game. Council has struggled to find consistency from three-point range throughout his time in college and the NBA, but he emerged as an athletic transition weapon during his rookie season with the Sixers.
As of now, it’s unclear where Council is set to land instead.
Nets Daily also notes that Chinese forward Fanbo Zeng will be heading to Brooklyn on an Exhibit 10 deal, rather than the two-way spot some had expected him to compete for.
Zeng is a skilled 6’11 forward who averaged 14.7 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 1.5 blocks while shooting 40.5% from three last season for the Beijing Ducks.
Nobody is signed until they are
Zeng can be converted to a Two-Way from an Exhibit 10…
