Nets fan curious about your move 

Post#1 » by brook_11 » Sat May 9, 2009 4:26 am

Hey guys....Ive looked through many mock drafts, and most of them have you taking James Harden at 5(assuming you guys get stuck of it). I like him a lot. However does not it make more sense for the Timberwolves to draft a PG, like Jennings or Jrue Holiday? What do you guys think?

PG like Holiday/Lawson/Maynor/curry could be available at the miami pick. Other than Rubio there is no elite pg in this draft.

Jrue @ 5 is far too high. Most Wolves fans like Harden, DeRozan, or Evans over Jennings.

picking Jrue @ 5 is a wasted pick.

If we want him we can move up with the Miami pick.

Judging on how Jennings has played in Europe I would not take him either with our pick. He has proven that he is not ready for high level competition, yet.

If we can not draft or trade for Rubio I'm all for trading/moving up (not down ;)) to get Jrue or Jennings but my preferable choice is to offer anything it takes to have Rubio as our PG as long as Al Jefferson is out of discussion. ;)

Depressing, Griffin is too good to pass up while Thabeet and Rubio would fill instant needs. It seems Harden and Hill are the next best players available. But if we are going to trade Miller, I could see Harden working himself into the lineup. Still I would strongly consider trading down if the right deal came along.

I think we're just as curious as you are. We don't even have a GM yet. Our needs are obvious (defensive third big + lead guard) but we are historically unpredictable.
