2008 General Draft Discussion: Who to take with our picks?

[Universe]

For our second round pick, I'd like to get John Riek and put him in the D-League for a year.

He can be anywhere between the ages of 18 - 25 but if we get lucky, he's actually younger but changed it so he could enter the NBA early.

A big project but looks like he could turn into something.

[Rich Rane]

From where we are right now, I want Tyler Smith. He's the only thing that resembles a 2 guard from where we're picking.

In the lottery other than Beasley...I like Gordon.

If Dallas doesn't make the playoffs this season then we don't get there 2008 first round pick....Is that correct????? Then we get there 2009 & 2011 Right???

yeahh

[HotShots]

I don't think Dallas will make it to the playoffs. The lost 3 in a row. They are 4-5 with Kidd. The 4 wins are against crappy teams....Memphis, Minny, Chicago & Sac. I really doubt they make it. It's very tight in the west anybody can make it?


09-11 thats what we will get. What's the protection on these 2 if any? Anybody know????

[Serpo]

Well Dallas still looks better then Phoenix and Dallas has a easier scedule , they'll make the playoffs as 6-8th seed .

[Bangladeshian]

NOT HIBBERT!!! You heard it here first...he will suck.
).

thats not really hard to call considering he averages about 13 and 7 in college right now

[Sharcm1]

If we don't get the number 1 or 2 picks then I would go for eric gordon, jordan, and the guy out of memphis chirs douglas roberts. then with mavs pick a guy like tyler hansbrough or kevin love.

[halfHAVOC]

were not gettin a lottery pick at this point.

Any college hoops fan here??

If so can anyone tell me a little about tyler smith, Chris Douglas-Roberts and Chase Budinger.

Who's the best shooter of the 3?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks in advance.

Smith actually plays the 4 for Tennesee and isn't much of a perimeter shooter and shoots 71% from the line...Roberts has really improved his outside shooting recently and shoots 67% from the line. Budinger is definitely the best outside shooter, but doesn't have a great mid-range game. Out of the three, I like Budinger the best for the Nets, but wouldn't mind the other two.

We should have with a chancewith our pick at either Budinger, Thabeet or hopefully Eric Gordon if he slips a bit. It'll be between 11 and 16.

Then with the Mavs pick I'd love Shan Foster or Courtney Lee. We could also go for Hendrix, Hansbrough or Hardin.

There should be a few pretty decent players int he 2nd round, DJ White, Malik Hairston, Kentrell Gransberry, Richard Roby.

A perfect draft haul if you ask me would be Thabeet, Foster and Hairston.

[Pugsley_2491]

Watching the Houston game really makes me want Thabeet.

[NjNeTs1029]

alrite so if the heat win 15 more games, the twolves win 12 more games, memphis wins 11 more, seattle wins 10 more, the knicks win 8 more, and we keep this streak going, then we can get beasley



im allowed to dream.

hey, don't forgot that those ping pong balls might just bounce our way

[NetsForce]

COMMENCE OPERATION OJ MAYO.

[NjNeTs1029]

nooo.. Derrick Rose > OJ Mayo

[Serpo]

Why do we want another offensively challenged big ?

If we'd draft high enough to have a chance get Rose ( obviosly top3 at least ) we should try to get Beasley and not Rose.

[NetsForce]

We can't tank hard enough to get Rose =/...

[Pugsley_2491]

I'm with NetsForce, I've been wanting OJ soooo bad. But I disagree with you on wanting Rose, we don't need another PG, we need a legit #1 option and good cornerstone. I agree with Serpo, if the ping pong balls go in our favor then we deff need to take a look at acquiring Beasely. There are a lot of picks that I wouldn't be too upset about though. JaVale Mcgee, Nicolas Batum, Thabeet, Gordon, Randolph, Tyler Smith and so on. It's a really deep lottery draft this year so thats good. With the second first, a guy like Brandon Rush would be nice.

well beasley is definately going first so we'd probably need either the 2nd or 3rd pick to get rose.. I think we actually have a legit shot at getting Gordan. He is probably going to go at somewhere around 7 so its possible
