What do you guys think of the order?

I'm holding out hope for James Harden. I also would have DeRozan higher, even though he's a project. I'm glad you didn't put Henderson on the board.

Duke = blah...yeah, I think Harden is gone by the time he reaches 11 (he has been having great workouts from what I hear) which is why I didn't include him. DeRozan is just too much of a project in my mind. I want a guy who can contribute right away to help make the play-offs, he will be a great pro though. Just 2 or 3 years down the line.

I think you're greatly underrating DeRozan, even if he is a project. If the idea is to get and immediate contribution, you might as well trade the pick for a veteran.

Also, minor squabble, but if you're listing Jordan Hill as a somewhat viable option, you might as well (IMO) put Tyreke Evans and Jrue Holliday somewhere on the board. They are both a lot more likely IMO to be there at 11.

Oh definitely, I don't have them there because I am not huge fans of them plus I don't want the team to take a PG so I had my board Forward heavy.

Fair enough, but if you think Lawson is superior to them... well let's just say we strongly disagree.

Like I have said in other threads, I think there is a strong chance we trade up to the 5th or 7th pick and get either Harden or Hill.
Your list is OK, but where is Terrence Williams? If you're gonna list point guards, where is Brandon Jennings? I am with you on Tyreke Evans, I don't like him at all.
I like Jrue Holiday a lot though, but I am with Deviljets7, I think Lawson is gonna be nothing more then a solid backup and isn't even a top 5 point guard out of this draft.
I love Maynor, but he would be such a waste on the Nets, playing behind Devin and Dooling.

I am so on the fence about DeRozan. I am thinking his worst case outcome is Desmond Mason and his ceiling is likely Jason Richardson.

I'm on the fence with DeRozan too. His play in the Pac-10/NCAA Tourney lifted my spirits though. James Harden is still my favorite player in college basketball, so naturally I'm gonna still say we trade up and land him.
