Will the Nets Give Josh McRoberts a Guarantee at #17?

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Buried in Adrian Wojnarowski's column on PreDraft Camp doings in Orlando is this little nugget from the Jersey-based Yahoo! writer: "Josh McRoberts is intriguing to the New Jersey Nets at No. 17, so much so there was some discussion within the franchise of guaranteeing the 6-foot-11 Duke forward the spot." McRoberts will workout with the Nets mid week. He and Colorado State's Jason Smith are the consensus choice for the Nets in mock drafts.</div>

He's got so much talent, but his mentality is just weak. But after being marginally wrong about Boone and his mentality, we might be able to mold him. Bill Cartwright has done a fabulous job with bigs.

I always thought giving guarantees was retarded. What happens if a player that nobody expected to drop falls in your lap (eg: Danny Granger/Gerald Green falling to the Clippers, who ended up drafting Yaroslav Korolev)?
