The Brooklyn Nets have long relied on the NBA Draft to build their roster, and while big-name stars often steal the headlines, the team's history is also filled with intriguing picks from smaller programs. One such school with a unique connection to the franchise is Alabama State University. Though not a traditional powerhouse, the Hornets have produced a handful of players who caught the Nets' eye on draft day.

Let's dive into the complete list of every Alabama State University player ever drafted by the Brooklyn Nets (formerly the New Jersey Nets).

The Pick: Reggie Slater
Draft Year: 1992 | Round: 2nd (40th overall)

Reggie Slater remains the only player in franchise history selected directly out of Alabama State. A forward with a tenacious rebounding style, Slater was taken in the second round of the 1992 NBA Draft. While his time with the Nets was brief, he went on to carve out a respectable six-season NBA career, playing for several teams including the Denver Nuggets and Toronto Raptors. His selection stands as a testament to the Nets' willingness to scout talent beyond the major conferences.
