2011 Nets Draft Watch

The Nets held their third individual workout Tuesday, but this was the first where there was a prospect, aka an "athlete" who the team could take at #27. Iman Shumpert, Georgia Tech's 6'5" combo guard, was the star of the show. Now projected at #22 by Draft Express, Shumpert's athleticism caught Billy King's attention.

 

"Iman he has great athleticism," King said. "He’s very strong and defensively he’s got some upside. He’s got a lot of tools you like". The other athlete, DeAndre Liggins, a 6'6" defensive oriented swingman, could also be in the mix if the Nets buy a pick late in the second, where's projected. "He’s somebody who can really defend," said the Nets GM. "He can play a lot of positions. He played the point. He played Kemba [Walker], so that’s the versatility of him defensively."

Damn all the guys I like for the Lakers are starting to get some buzz. First Brooks, then Vucevic, now Shumpert.

 

Shumpert is gonna be good player. Can defend all three perimeter positions and play both backcourt spots. He'd be a good pick at 27. He could be like Sefolosha, but better offensively.

Never know whether Billy King is ready to pull the trigger on Draft Night and move up. If we stay put, Justin Harper is atop the list at this point. JaJuan Johnson is another possibility. Nolan Smith and Josh Selby have been mentioned at #36 if available. We could also trade for a later pick, possibly for someone like Liggins or Diebler.

Hoping for a draft day trade or trades. I don't mind grabbing one rookie but if we are aiming to be winners, having three rookies on the squad isn't always the best root.

 

Also, we now have a D-League team that we can stock some undrafted talent in and hope for them to grow.

Reports out of Europe, confirmed by team officials, indicate that Bojan Bogdanovic, the 6'7" swingman who the Nets acquired in a complicated three way deal Thursday, will stay in Europe, with his Turkish team for the 2011-12 season. He will join the Brooklyn Nets the following season.

 

Bogdanovic, who can play both wings, recently signed a three year deal with Fenerbahce of Turkey, one of Europe's top organizations. With a buyout, he'd be available at the end of this season. Also, details of the trade were reported early Friday. After the Heat took Bogdanovic at #31, he was dealt to the Timberwolves in exchange for the #28 pick, Norris Cole. The Nets then purchased his rights from the Timberwolves, also sending the Nets 2013 second rounder to Minnesota in the process.

New Jersey Nets (24-58): They were very fine hosts for the event, and getting Marshon Brooks was a good gamble for a team looking to rebuild because he has the dreaded.

Grade: B
