(Undated) -- The Nets are deferring the pick they acquired from the Sixers. Brooklyn informed league officials that it would be deferring Philadelphia's 2022 first round pick to the 2023 NBA Draft. The 76ers are slated to pick 23rd in the first round, but deferring the pick allows the Nets to keep flexibility over an extended period on using that pick in trades. The Nets could also land higher on the draft board based upon the success of Philadelphia's upcoming season.
