Tomlin scored 3 PTS in the final minutes of tonight’s game vs. Brooklyn. Coincidentally, the Harlem native made his NBA debut against his hometown team. Before the G League, Nae’Qwan spent three years at the Community College level (an extra year due to COVID) before earning his way to Kansas State and then Memphis. His story is truly remarkable. A player with zero HS experience making the NBA is unheard of.
