So two wings that cannot shoot for the Nets. This Nets draft is definition of getting trade happy. Very rarely do you benefit from trading down in NBA drafts. You could shed salary and get future picks especially in 2024 where the Nets have no first round pick later in the off season not during the draft.
This is a draft Nets fans should cry about. A template of what not to do come draft time. This draft created redundancy. Nets lack shot creation and playmaking and a lack of actual size two things the Nets stink at. Two thing not addressed at all. You have three picks and you take three role players. They already have a 6”9 small ball center his name is Sharpe.
UCLA/PAC-12 WILL have 1 player selected in the 1st round: Jaime Jaquez.
Ben Golch/LA Times: “[An anonymous NBA] executive said he envisioned Jaquez being taken…No. 17 to No. 25.”
Vecenie: put his range at 18 to 25 on his latest mock. On his separate mock exercise with Spins on YouTube, said “I would be surprised if got out of the top 25…the intel is that good.”
Sounds like a done deal.
