Sweet, 7th is lower then I expected before the season. It is kind of nice having back to back picks
Nets 7th best record in NBA (Clippers 6th)
Clippers make NBA playoffs 2 times in last 25-26 years and the 3rd time they going to make it has to be the freakin' season Nets own their pick. Anyway, Nets right now have 7th best record while Clippers have 6th. So with season over in less than 4 weeks, Nets would own pick #24 and #25 which Sukz. Pretty cool picking back to back though.

We should trade up for a servicable power forward, like Sheldon Williams.
That's right about what I expected this season. Maybe 5th or 6th.

Perhaps Zoran, Wright, or Lamond will explode in production by season's end?
If you trade Wright with 2 picks, that's like trading 3 picks for him... so confident he'll work out? Cause trading 3 picks for an unproven / rookie himself could lead to major problems.

Where do you expect Shelden Williams to go? I'm just going by nbadraft.net saying he's going at 15th. A 23rd and a 24th for a 15th is possible, especially for a team that has more than 1 hole to fill. At least in NBA Live.
But after I saw him play, I'm willing to bet he'll go a bit lower than that.
I just want to see some Thorn magic and fill our 4 spot hole with someone decent.

Mm.. ok perhaps Padgett, McInnis, or Murray? :biggrin:Petey said:If you trade Wright with 2 picks, that's like trading 3 picks for him... so confident he'll work out? Cause trading 3 picks for an unproven / rookie himself could lead to major problems.

I'm not a big Shelden Williams fan. I think he's been exposed against better competition.kdub said:Plus another player?

When crucial drafts roll around like 2006, the NETS have to step-up and make some more daring picks to give the team the edge against the competition. They may go foreign if some good players don't fall.
As the 2001 draft proved, there were nine impact players that went btw 26 - 60. Players like Samuel Dalembert (26), Jamaal Tinsley (27), Tony Parker (29), Gilbert Arenas (31), Mehmet Okur (38), Earl Watson (40), Bobby Simmons (42) and even Twin's brother Jarron Collins (53).
With the 23rd (Brandon Armstrong) and 35th (Brian Scalabrine) pick in the 2001 draft, the Nets could have netted players like Samuel Dalembert, Mehmet Okur and/or Jarron Collins.
I think the 2006 draft is going to be very much like the 2001 draft. I think the top and middle of the first round is loaded with overrated players that may not be much better than the tail end of the 1st round and well into the 2nd.
Teams that do their homework may be able to land a player or two. The NETS have three picks. They should be able to land two or three quality big men to shore up the PF position.
Don't despair NETS fans. As you can see, your position in the draft is not as important as what you do with it. If you draft well, you can find quality personnel at any stage of a half decent draft. (Let's hope this is not a reprise of the worst draft on record - 2000).
In any case, the important thing is that your team has picks. The more picks used wisely, the higher the odds your favorite team'll land some good personnel to fill your teams needs.
In the 2004 draft, one of the worst, the Blazers had back-to-backs and picked Viktor Khryapa and Sergei Monia. I sure hope the Nets do better than that.
By the way, if the Nets continue to play this way, I suspect they will be moving on down in the order and may not pick back to back at all.

7th... this is a very good considering how much we struggled early in the season. And yea, i think nets fans did expect little bit higher before the season started (like 4th-5th?)
Doesn't matter. The key is that they have picks. There are overlooked impact players at all stages of a draft ... if you know how to find 'em.NetIncome said:In the 2004 draft, one of the worst, the Blazers had back-to-backs and picked Viktor Khryapa and Sergei Monia. I sure hope the Nets do better than that. Amen to that! But wasn't that Nash picking the moaning crap?

The Blazers past on Delonte West twice and he was drafted right after. Solid pick.NetIncome said:In the 2004 draft, one of the worst, the Blazers had back-to-backs and picked Viktor Khryapa and Sergei Monia. I sure hope the Nets do better than that.

Not to get off topic but how was the 2004 draft one of the worst? When you had players like.
Dwight Howard
Emeka Okafor
Ben Gordon
Shaun Livingston
Devin Harris
Josh Childress
Loul Deng
Andre Iguodala
Sebastian Telfair
Al Jefferson
Josh Smith
JR Smith
Jameer Nelson
Delonte West
Tony Allen
Kevin Martin
then in the second round you players like
Anderson Varejao
Lionel Chalmers
Chris Duhon
Trevor Ariza
Look at all that talent how was that draft bad?

Who in their right mind would trade a lottery pick for two picks in the mid to late 20s?PetroToZoran said:We should trade up for a servicable power forward, like Sheldon Williams.
An additional draft pick can't move you up 8-10 spots? This draft may have a lot of depth, I'd rather hold onto the extra pick then move it. I'd like to take 2 cracks at a 4, rather than put all my marbles in one place. I think after the top 5 picks, you're looking at a crap shot, similar to 2005. After the 9, you were looking at Sean May, McCants, Granger, Wright, Green, Graham, Warrick I think any of them could have, been easily picked 10. I think this the draft will be the same way, you will see a solid, 5 picks gone then another 10-15 player who can go as high as 10 and as low as 30. After, Gay, Morrison, Aldridge, and Barganani, anything can happen, though it is early, the 4-5 solids may become 7-8 by draft time....like last year.
