Nets Work Out Xavier Guard
With the NCAA's early entry deadline Saturday, the Nets have been working out players still on the fence. Jimmer Fredette, 6'2" point guard out of Brigham Young and Jordan Crawford, a 6'4" shooting guard out of Xavier, both got in licks at the end of the week.
Crawford got positive enough reviews to stay in the draft and hire Mark Bartlestein as his agent. He is projected to go at the end of the first round or the beginning of the second. Crawford gained a measure of fame last July by dunking on LeBron James at James' Skills Academy.
Fredette got positive reviews as well, but remains uncertain. Players have until 11:59 p.m. Saturday to fax in their decisions.

Stock would have been a lot higher if he entered next year, I think. He had a very strong NCAA tourney showing though.
Get this guy
He’s awesome, I loved watching him in the NCAA’s. I’d love to get this guy on our team. Not sure it’d help our pursuit of LeBron though.
I got the chance to see him play at UMass a few months ago...
…and he was the difference in the game. X let a late lead slip away until they were down 2 with 8 left, and Crawford just turned it on. He’d be a solid guy to develop and provide a spark off the bench.
I wouldn't be against drafting a combo guard to replace KD
as long as we take someone who can defend and shoot
I think that we should take a combo forward like Ebanks or Robinson with the Mavs pick
Fredette could be another Dragic.
Dragic’s idol was Steve Nash. Now he is in line to replace Nash.
Chances are that Fredette goes back to college. He’s not even listed on the Draft boards.
