Hate to say it, but to me Reed Sheppard is the guy most likely to be a star out of this draft.

it's hard for me to get hyped up about anyone coming out of any draft as a star anymore. Using last year as an example, would i love to have scoot or brandon miller? sure. obviously both can ball. even after a year am I sure either of them will be a star? not really. and they were both supposedly 1 or 2 tiers better than anyone in this draft. scott could be the next Ant or he could be the next jalen green/cam thomas. flip a coin i guess, though there are usually more of the latter than the former.

i think it's too many years in a row of seeing marks grab guys like clowney, allen, cam, etc. who dont end up being stars but do end up being better than all but a handful of what goes ahead even without being stars. not just nets too, last year there was an insane run of jaquez, podz, whitmore, clowney #18-21, who today would all probably go top 15 in a redraft of last year and top 5-10 in this year's draft.

wemby obviously the exception but that's a once every 20 years guy.

i hear you but Brandon Miller looks legit. He looks like a paul george clone, probably won't be as good as him but something similar and that's who he imitates his game after.

zero disagreement, im just not sure if he's a star or great role player (think bridges level).

yea I'm surprised by Scoot, I thought he was going to be major his first year but he's looking like Emmanuel Mudiay

[vincecarter4pres]

Fingers crossed!

[Netaman]

So if nets are looking in this range as rumored with SAC, who do we see them interested in? Topic, Carter, knecht?

Read on Twitter

[Netaman]

Topic sounded so Marksy. Goes 1 pick earlier at #12.

[Netaman]

i can see why this draft is considered crappy, honestly nobody left all that appealing already. topic sounded marksy but pretty meh.

I would like to see us grab Devin Carter, plus maybe Harrison Barnes for Cam Johnson.

[Netaman]

Well nothing interesting in the draft. A lot of teams trading back out of picks. Whenever i've checked in and looked at the best remaining players all of them sound pretty meh. Guess we'll see what happens once FA starts rolling.

[vincecarter4pres]

How much you want to bet we’re going to hear tomorrow that Marks didn’t trade Cam J to Sacto cause he wanted a future unprotected pick in addition to the 13?

And that he could have gotten a late first for DFS, but also values him higher.

I’m going to be sick if that’s the case.

i doubt it, there were picks up for grabs all over. i was catching up late but it seems to me this draft was as weak as rumored through all levels. by 15 the picks were less interesting than jalen wilson.

Disagree. McCain is a super interesting pick, Collier is interesting, Holmes, Knecht, Da Silva, Tyson, Dunn and Dadiet.

There’s no reason for these guys to still be on this roster, especially DFS.

I suspect he was hoping to land Topic, but OKC grabbed him at 12th (shades of last year's Cam Whitmore), but decided to hold off?

[JoseRizal]

Both Cam and DFS should return at least a FRP each. I wonder why Marks wasn't able to do so. Unless, he doesn't want to take salary back which would impact the cap space in 2025.

I don't know players in this draft well enough to counter but there were a lot of teams who seemed to be bailing. A lot of picks moved real cheap. If the Nets or any team wanted in they could have gotten in real easily, totally apart from DFS or CJ. Knicks traded a first for a bunch of 2nds. Spurs moved 8th overall pick for a 2031 pick and a swap.

Did anyone trade any veteran for any draft pick?

[3pt_chucker]

This was an awful draft headlined by a 3&D role player

I'm glad Marks stayed patient and did not make a rash deal to get into this draft. I'd prefer a future pick than a 2024 pick regardless.

Much rather hold onto the vets and ensure the Nets get proper value for them.

Was just thinking about the Hawks

High profile, underperforming team in a big market somehow lucks into the #1 pick and gets the choice of guys who aren’t normally regarded as top tier talent

12 months earlier way & they were set

mehh we can prolly get those type of guys in the 2nd round honestly, this draft was hella weak. i think Marks and others are putting alotof stock into the 2025 draft which seems more valuable. So hopefully we can get a couple more picks in that draft for DFS and others. With what OG got, I'm pretty sure teams will soon be calling for DFS and CamJ.
