have liked what I have seen of this kid. Good defender, good shooter, good handle. Nets have two first round picks and can always use another swingman. :biggrin:

The only Brewer coming out is Ronnie. Corey does have a nice array of skills and at 6'8 thats a very good assett. I guess if Noah comes out then maybe he will too, but so far he claims he is staying.

 

[tr_west]

Seems a little inconsistent. Definently needs another year in college then I can see him being a first round pick, but not this year.

You obviously posted before the National Championship. And at this point in time, there is no reason for any of those kids to stay at Florida.

I do agree somewhat. I don't think all of them leave though. I can see Noah staying...the SG will stay and I believe Taurean Green will stay. I also think that PF Al Horford needs 1 more year then he can come out. Corey Brewer will have NBA teams (Noah too) drooling over him. Brewer can fly, can play defense, rebound...his shot is coming along pretty nice.

As of now Brewer is the most likely to leave as his stock probably wont be any higher. Noah doesnt care about the NBA, and am pretty sure he will be a high draft pick whenever he chooses to declare. Horford has potential but still needs to stick in college, and him being Noah's friend probably will keep him there

Noah is the only one who realistically might leave.

everyone is saying that he doesn't need to go pro because of his dad...or something like that...

Noah comes from a wealthy household. Horford comes from a comfortable household. They may stay but is it worth the risk? Noah right now could be the overall No. 1. Has an underclassman tapped as the overall No.1 ever stayed in school? Staying in school could cost him millions both now and down the road since next draft there is no way he will be overall No. 1, not with Greg Oden available.

As for Brewer, he does not come from a wealthy or comfortable household and his value may never be as high as it is this morning.

Corey's great. Like NI said, he's about as well-rounded a wing prospect as you will find. Size (6'8), athleticism (a high jump champion), shooting, ball-handling, passing, rebounding, defense, he's got it all. And he has excellent speed in the open floor as well. With his skinny frame, he reminds me of a taller Kerry Kittles.

But I don't think the Nets can afford to select another SG/SF.

Use the draft to build for the long term, free agency and trades to fill holes. That was the strategy last summer and it would have worked if not for SAR's knee issue. "Best player available" in a system like the Nets makes the most sense. The starting lineup is set. Rookies are not going to get much playing time as a result. And in spite of what we were told about Wright's shooting, he is not a threat beyond about 15 feet at least so far. So, I would have no problem taking another swingman who can shoot and play defense.

A year ago Matt Leinart chose to stay another season at USC and he probably cost himself a lot more than Noah would.

He will make all those back with endorsements.

Regarding Noah, who is he satisfying by declaring, the public or himself

He'll have a hard time making back that money with endorsements because of the opportunity cost. Not only did he lose out on the signing bonus and contract (both of what he will get this year will be less than what he could have received last year) he also lost out on a year of salary and a year of endorsements.

I think the only ones worried about this are the media and his agents. Matt Lienart doesnt seem to be complaining and I dont think Noah will be either.

Peyton seems to be doing just fine with that choice of his

And this has what to do with what I posted? My original point was that another high profile college athlete recently turned down millions, including millions more than Noah would be turning down, to go back to school. I then pointed out that your comment that he would make it back with endorsements was a fallacy.

LOL sorry cpaw I agree with you. I hope Noah stays in school actually. But with the way he is being pressured it might not turn out that way.

I want Noah and every other elite underclassman to come out so the Nets have more good players to choose from with their two picks.

yes let's overflood the market so the Nets can get one slipping through the cracks!!! WOOOOO

Noah strikes me as a guy that goes to the beat of his own drum. He's from a wealthy family where he can choose to stay in school for another year even if the whole world wants him to declare. Alot could change if some run and gun teams have high lottery picks but I think that kid's gonna be back in Florida next year because the NBA doesn't seem to be his number one goal like most good college players. The millions don't mean as much to this kid as a good situation does and right now nothing beats the Gators. If Noah returns then Corey's gonna be right along side of him. Something tells me Florida will do the exact opposite of UNC last year and bring back everybody for another crack at the title. Corey is a nice player overall but he could use another year to fine tune everything because he is good at alot of stuff but he isn't really spectacular at any one thing. If he puts in the work he could be a lotto pick next year for sure.
