2010 NBA Draft Thread: Nets Select Derrick Favors

[crazykidd2k6]

I am fine with Favors. People are probably think i'm crazy but i really didn't want wall in the Nets.

[jerseyjac]

I'm seriously let down right now. I was trying to convince myself that I really like Favors as a fit for our team and that Cousins has the chance to be dominant the last few days. I was trying to talk myself into the thought I wouldn't care that much if we fell to 3 or 4. It didn't work. This sucks.

its could of been worse...4 would sucked

This still means the Nets will probably get Evan Turner, which is who I like over John Wall.

There is no way the 76ers are taking a guy who isn't that good of a jump shooter in a position they're already so strong at (Iguodala, Young), so no need to panic.

Yet they have 2 PF's with Brand/Spreights already. Why draft another PF? They can't play C.

They need a PG/SG/C, and Turner fills that SG spot.

Who with the third pick
Or do you think you try to move it. Maybe absorb Brands contract to move up and get turner? Thoughts?

[jerseyjac]

The pick is going to be trade, you'll see. You'll all see!

With? For?

that was my initial thought...and the Nets get to choose who they want at PF...

[vincecarter4pres]

#1 Wizards: Wall
#2 76"ers take: ?
#3 Nets...
Lets break this down...

I mean, there is a legitimate argument for Philly to take Cousins or Favors and in all honesty, they are both elite level big men prospects, for real, so we'll see.
There's always the chance we trade the pick as well, I just don't know for who, because with a new owner in New Orleans, I don't see them trading Chris Paul anymore and there aren't really many other players worth it that might be available.
Maybe Carmelo Anthony...

We'll see. I agree that it's a lot more likley they take Turner, but they supposedly have the point guard spot locked up with Jrue, Brand is old and finished, it's likely Dally's last year, Speights is a so-so prospect and is said to be dumber then a box of rocks. Stranger things have happened.

I feel like I just got kicked in the nuts

But in all seriousness, Washington and Philly could pull a Memphis in the draft and draft a Thabeet, this is what I'm hoping for.

Have you watched Brand in Philly? Every sixer fan wants him out of there, Speights is solid but there's likely a better choice.

So how do we get Chris Paul? this sucks

[Morthello]

So who ya got Favors or Cousins?

Not a chance in hell, NJ eats the corpse of Brand just to swap Cousins/Favors and Turner.

[treiz]

^Favors

[jerseyjac]

I'm leaning toward Cousins...sixers board seem to like Turner...

[vincecarter4pres]

So who ya got Favors or Cousins?

I'd take Favors. I know I have said that Cousins could be better, but Favors is likely the better fit next to Brook and a lot of the experts say he has a much higher upside, although I don't know if I agree. Cousins also has some attitude issues, although I think they're very overstated. Favors reminds me of Kmart a little something...

[Morthello]

^Favors

Was think the same thing; I think he'll be an Amare like prospect. O and on a side note F*** the lottery.

[vincecarter4pres]

So how do we get Chris Paul?

Got some duct tape, a gun and a van?

[Douglas23]

LOOL

[jerseyjac]

I think the consensus would be Favors, but everytime I watch highlights, I come back to Cousins...
