Thoughts? I really wanted Jerryd Bayless. Oh well.

I liked. Bayless would be great, but... Lopez is a steal.

What we are going to do wit so many youngers PF/C?

Well, with that pick our bigs are...
Josh Boone
Yi Jianlian
Brook Lopez
Stromile Swift
Sean Williams

Free Agents
Desagna Diop (offered full MLE by Dallas)
Nenad Krstic

I'm not high on Lopez like everyone else here is and I don't think he'll be our answer at a legit consistent post big. My fear is that at least two of those guys will be buried on the bench especially with the way Frank likes to play small.

Brook Lopez is a special guy

While waiting through nine picks, Brook Lopez makes some excellent sound bites, including this gem: "I'm gonna be like Brady Quinn..."

Add in Ryan Anderson to that list. Damn, we acquired three PF/C on the same day. Who knows what we do at 40?

That's a lot of PF/C...

I was realy mad with our last pick.

We need a SG/SF...

We need to try to trade one or two of our bigs for a Shooting Guard/SF...i was mad as well with our 21th pick,why select another PF?

What are your thoughts on what should we do,guys?

Did anyone see the flashback to him later on in the draft when his agent was telling him the big guys in the Nets front office. When he heard Lawrence Frank was the Nets coach (I'm shocked basketball players don't know a lot of organizations big management guys sometimes) I wasn't sure if he was pumped to hear his name or horrified.
