Nope, that was the 2nd face off, in the NIT...where UMass came back from 20 down at the dome.
 
if nets draft lopez bros i will kill myself im not to big on Randolph ethier


I would take
10 pick

Westbrook (hes quick great back up player has a shot)

Jordan this website compared him to Dwight Howard any one compared to howard i want http://www.nbadraft.net/admincp/profiles/deandrejordan.html

Gordon (hes a freak amazing 3pt shot) the best pick


last resort Gallinari (he is a scorer thats about it but he is ready for the nba)


pick 21
Donte Green (hes got the shot maybe not NBA ready hes up and down trust me i love syracuse he would be a toss up but if we don't get Westbrook next year look at flynn)

Hibbert ( I don't understand whats wrong with him hes big powerfull what the nets need)

JaVale McGee (Has freakishly long arms around a 7-6 wingspan which makes him a great rebounder) the best pick


pick 40

Courtney lee (Great shooter)

Joey Dorsey (Aggrisive great rebounder)

DJ White (Explosive athlete, loves dunking on players )








I would take a scorer at pick 10 and then go big ethier 21 or 22nd because there are some real good players examples dj white,doresy,jawai,ajiinca,JJ Hickson,Serge Ibaka

This guy's going for the posting record of how many times he can make the same post in the same thread without double posting.

We are at 3 so far.
 
#10 - Danilo Gallinari/Brooklyn Lopez/Russell Westbrook

#21 - Alexis Ajinca/CDR/Hickson

#40 - Ryan Anderson/Ante Tomic/Victor Claver

But all this could change. By Tuesday, I am sure the board will be filled with rumors like this: RJ and #10 for Diaw, Barbosa and #15.

Unlike most of you, I think Gallinari would be an incredible steal. I also think he will be gone by #10. And if those three are gone by #10, I think trading down becomes a real possibility.

I think Ajinca, because he is French, is very underrated by the mocks. He has a 7'8" wingspan, can shoot the three and is a good passer. If he were an American big, he would be talked about in the same breath as the massively overrated Jordan and McGee.

My sleeper pick for the Nets is Donte Green, but I think he falls between #10 and #21.

Funny you'd mention this, I've been thinking a trade with Phoenix was possible. I was thinking more along the lines of #10 and Swift for Barbosa and #15.

I agree he would be a steal, but I think he will be available. If those three are gone, though, someone probably fell, most likely Bayless, Gordon, or Alexander will be available for the Nets. I know you don't like Alexander, but the FO seems to be big fans of his. I'm nervous that they may prefer him to Gallinari actually.

my mock has him at 12

If we were to swap picks with Phoenix, as you mentioned earlier, I could definitely see us taking him if he's still there. I wonder if we have him rated higher than Rush. I could also see Koufos being a Net if he is available at a pick for them after 10.
 
This is an interesting exercise to go through. Assuming the Nets will not draft more than one player at any one position who do you consider the best 3 at any one position?
Let's exclude the most likely top 5: Rose, Beasley, Mayo, Love, and Bayless.

<u>PG/Combo Guard:</u>
Westbrook, E. Gordon, Augustin
<u>SG/Wing:</u>
Rush, Lee, CDR
<u>Forward:</u>
Hickson, Alexander, Arthur
<u>Center:</u>
Hibbert, Koufus, Hardin

Also rank just Bigs, Smalls and Overall.

<u>Smalls:</u>
Westbrook, Rush, Lee, CDR, E. Gordon, Augustin
<u>Bigs:</u>
Hickson, Alexander, Arthur, Hibbert, Koufus, Hardin
<u>Overall</u>
Westbrook, Rush, Hickson, Alexander, Arthur, Lee, Hibbert, Koufus, Hardin, E. Gordon, Augustin

By looking at my picks it's clear that I would go small with the first pick and big with the 2nd. All the big players I prefer should be available around #21.
I would come away with either Westbrook or Rush at #10 and either Hickson or Hibbert at #21.
With the 40th pick I'd be looking at White, Hendrix, Weaver, Gordon, Giddens, or Foster. Depending who I get in the 1st round.

I know the original post in the top three per position thread said to ignore the top five picks, but I'm not really excited about any of the other PG prospects. Most of my picks, including my wild cards, are in consideration of Portland’s first round pick, I like other Europeans in the second round.
