Thorn should draft shooters with the first and second rounder that's this team's weakness.

[BDB]

Brandon Rush
NBA Postion: SG/SF
6-6 210lbs

Strengths: Good size for a SG in the league at 6’6” 210 lbs; also equipped with very long arms, measuring in with a 6’11” wingspan…Blessed with exceptional athleticism, runs the floor well and gets above the rim with ease; at his best in the open court…For the second year in a row Rush has led the Jayhawks in scoring at 13.8 ppg…Rush also collected 5.6 rpg, good for second on a very good rebounding Kansas team…Plays under control on offense, rarely ever forces the issue when the ball is in his hands, which has served the young Jayhawk team well as a steadying influence, evidenced by his 45% shooting mark…Gets good arc under his shot, shows a nice, fluid release…Excellent long-range shooter, shooting 43% from three his sophomore year, proving that his excellent shooting numbers from his freshmen campaign were no fluke…Excellent man defender, aided by his long arms and developed body…Defended the opposition's best player night in and night out; guarding Kevin Durant as well as anybody in their matchups…An excellent teammate who plays a solid all around game...

I like Eric Gordon for the other pick

Strengths: Tremendous leaper with great outside shooting ability ... Really excels at taking the ball inside and drawing contact ... Makes spectacular dunks on a regular basis ... Excellent scorer with good mental toughness ... Shows great body strength at a young age ... Terrific body balance ... Quick feet and an explosive first step ... Has a good feel for the game ... Shoots well off the dribble with a developing mid range game ... Outside shooting stands out ... Shows excellent desire and intensity defensively, good at anticipating steals ... Good competitor ... Athletic ability helps to overcome his size disadvantage for the NBA ... Solid rebounder ...

Weaknesses: A little small for the 2 guard position at 6-4, but his freakish athleticism makes up for it ... Lacks great vision, passing ability ... Can become too enamored with the 3 point shot ... His in between game is under utilized because he's so effective from the outside and taking the ball to the basket ... Needs to concentrate on becoming a better passer ... Lack of length may make creating shots difficult ... Should look to get more height on his jump shot ... Must work on becoming more under control driving to the basket ...

Has a good jumper also good handle check him out.

Rush I can see being available when the Nets pick. But Eric Gordon will be long gone

Wrong thread

Well it seems Thorn has heard our complaints after all.

"We haven't shot the ball well enough," Thorn said. "A lot of teams zone us, which has given us a lot of problems. We definitely need to either have some of our guys on our team get better shooting the ball or get some people that can make shots. That's an area we'll look at very closely."

The free agent crop of shooters available this summer isn't good, so the Nets probably will have to look for one via a trade. Without Jason Kidd as an attraction, it will be harder for the Nets to draw free agents anyway, especially with them being over the cap and having only the midlevel and lower-level exceptions at their disposal.

[BDB]

J.R. Smith
Juan Dixon
Kareem Rush
Juan Carlos Navarro
Carlos Delfino
are free agents

I'd trade for
Mike Miller
Rasual Butler
Jason Kapono

Mike Miller would be the main target if i'm Thorn. He can shoot the ball and create his own shot on the perimeter. Besides Miller Rasual Butler would be another option as well. As for free agents I'd take a look at Juan Dixon and Kareem Rush.

[NEWARK NETS]

I Say We Draft The Best Player At That Pick No Matter Who He Is
Unless Its A Point Guard

Stephen Curry. If you guys didnt watch the Davidson game today, you missed one of the best shooting perfomances of the year. Kid can ball. Hopefully Nets are scouting him.

Seems like being a lethal long range bomber is hereditary cause he's got the same dead aim and quick release as his old man. I would be ecstatic if thorn drafted him, and I think vince wouldn't mind having another Curry out on the perimeter to kick the ball out to when the double comes. It worked out well for him when he was doing it in Toronto with Dell.

So with Dirk's injury and Dallas likely to miss the playoffs, does it mean the Nets are getting another lotto pick?
