The Nets 2018 NBA Draft Thread (Welcome Dzanan Musa, Radions Kurucs & Theo Pinson!)

[TheNetsFan]

So is there any player with star potential in the mid to late first round? Anybody worth trading up to the teens for?

Polinsky let it slip that he/we believe there's 2 foreign lottery caliber players in the draft. Obviously Doncic is the first. Musa is most likely the 2nd. He's currently mocked in the late teens, so with some movement, he could be attainable.

and the final cost of Billy King's stupidity has been paid. So by my count, the Nets gave up a 17, 16, 3, 1, and 8 for one season of Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett.

oh, and a 6 for 1 season of Gerald Wallace.

They did get Thad and then LeVert out of it as well.

Alls well that ends well

I'd rather have Jason Tatum slotted next to RHJ and Allen up front

Everybody would (except perhaps Colangelo).

Sadly after the top 12 the talent drop off is huge. All-star potential for these kids becomes highly unlikely. So the goal should be to get in the top 12. The only 2 players that can really shake up the top 10 order really is Kevin Knox and SGA in pre draft combine. Everyone looks to be more of a role of a role player. There are couple players that I think has a descent boom/bust potential like Afernee Simons and Robert Williams. I just don't think they are worth giving up our players over.

Collin Sexton, Kevin Knox, Shai Gilgeous Alexander, Robert Williams, Zhaire Smith, Anfernee Simons.

In that order.

He will be good, but he'll gone long before #29.

But the conept of the trade is key. Instead of worrying about the inevitable doom of salary restrictions we clear it so in the Next couple of seasons of improving we have mobility. While getting the team enough talent to manuever ways to get assets back. For me, using Prok's system, rather than Parker I'd give the money Julius Randle. We can also use the MLE to a player like Mario Hezonja. That's the only thing i'd change. Why? Randle has a great upside but won't impact the W/L column that much without talent around him. We can take the L for the 2019 draft and get a pretty got lottery pick after that.

I’d stay away from Sexton he looks like he has all the physical tools. I just don’t think he’ll ever be a floor general. Teams will give a chance but I see Eric Bledsoe all over his game. I’d rather go after zhaire Smith.

I could definitely see the Nets asking a prospect to do that because if you're at #29, you cant have guys you're targeting improving their draft stock.

With that reasoning, its more likely that it is the other way around. Teams before the 24th pick.

That's a Billy King move. If last year has taught us anything, you have to keep options open in case somebody slides.

Funny you say that because the Nets locked in they will draft him in the second round a month before it happened. I knew this because I’m around Whitehead’s social circle and my boy is boys with him and played a couple pick up games with him. LeVert was also one of the first workout for the nets coming into that season.

Mainly agree. Although if a guy has a promise at 29, maybe he figures why even chance injury during individual workouts, the promise alone may create a buzz to get teams higher up interested. But pulling out of the combine leads me to believe what you're saying is much more realistic, because he's athletic enough to kill the athletic testing drills at the combine and looks like he'd measure well.

How ironic, barring a trade, we're praying for Marks to pull a Kuzma.
