In Final Mocks, It's Favors, Crawford, Gallon
by Net Income on Jun 24, 2010 6:51 PM EDT
in 2010 NBA Draft
Email
PrintThe draftniks, an exhausted band they are, have made their final calls and barring trades, sales, purchases and natural disasters, the Nets are projected to take Derrick Favors, Jordan Crawford, Xavier's 6'5" SG; and Tiny Gallon, Oklahoma's 6'9" PF, at #3, #27 and #31.
Favors, who would become the Nets' youngest player ever, is projected in eight of the 12 mocks surveyed by NBA.com's Drew Packham; while Crawford is mentioned by three draftniks and Gallon by two. Although Favors' teammate at Georgia Tech, Gani Lawal, and Stanley Robinson, UConn's 6'9" PF Stanley Robinson are also mentioned twice, two of the top three--and the most updated--drafts have Gallon going to the Nets. Thirteen players got mentioned for the two picks.
The Nets have been mentioned in various scenarios that would have then trading down, trading up or buying an additional second round pick. That will all play out beyond the draftniks' reach.

Anyone but Favors
I’m begging you. Either take Cousins or move down for Monroe, pleaseeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!
Gawd please let the Nets take Shaq/Karl Malone/Rodman/Zo hybrid and forget about Yinka Dare 2.0!!!
…. talk about beating a dead horse.

final mock
I think these are all great picks. Crawford could be the kind of instant offense guy that Nate Robinson is, and whatever you think of Nate, that’s an asset the Nets lack. Too often the second unit would come in and the scoring would stop.
Gallon is not as fat as I thought he’d be when I started watching him.
I really don’t understand the Favors hate. By all accounts he seems to be a high character kid. I’d prefer Cousins, but I have no doubt that Favors will be a dozen rebound guy in this league who will never be mismatched on D. That’s really valuable.

I would be pleased with those 3 picks.

That would be a solid
draft night w/ those 3 picks.
"I want to win now, not 3 years from now. That's my stance." - Kevin Burkhardt
So we're drafting Favors because we think he'll be easier to trade?
Yeah that’s a good reason to draft someone with the #3 OVERALL PICK IN THE DRAFT
Not because you like him or think he’ll be any good, but because you think he might be easier to trade.
WOW, I’m so excited about this pick I can hardly contain my excitement.
BTW
If you really want to draft the most valuable trade chip you should be drafting Cousins.
Blue chip “centers” are always the most valued commodity if they flash some game and keep their names out of the police blotter.
So basically all you need to do is keep this clown on a short leesh for a few months, let him flash his skills, and you’ll get WAY MORE back in a tade than you would for a PF who is a few years away from reaching his potential.
But hey, what do I know.
I really just hope we keep whoever we pick
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson

He said he coached him or tried to at least and didnt enjoy it much.

yes, at the big man camp
He tried to play “Coach K” and “John Wooden” and Cousins wasn’t into it.

From Woj
Nets are working on several trade scenarios with Yi Jianlian, but he’ll likely have to be a part of a bigger package to move, sources say.
I feel like
I’ve been taken to basketball church when Bilas is talking.

I feel he is one of the top GMs in the League, and have a history of drafting well.

Pacers want NJ to take Granger into cap space, and give them No. 3 pick. Nets don’t want to take $10 million hit on summer room. Deal dying
The Pacers want a point guard, but sources say they aren’t enthusiastic about taking back Devin Harris in trade. Larry Bird wants Favors
until we give him away
in a sign and trade. cause we’re morons.

Not if we trade down, maybe late in the lottery.
Starting to feel that’s where the stars are gonna be picked.
for the right of watching tv broadcasted nets games...
I'll be Cheering for whoever we draft...
I may be disappointed, but I will cheer on whoever that will wear a Nets jersey. Lets Go Nets!!!
+1
Wesley is definitely the wrong choice at 3 imo, but if we take him I’ve got to support him
Wes is solid!
Will be a great pick if that’s the case.

They are having doubts
Knowing they are passing on the best player in the world, Demarcus Cousins.
Team scouts have been on the NetsDaily board doing their research.
John Wall, how nervous is he?
Stuart Scott is a total imbecile
IS HE SERIOUS?
Its a friggin mortal lock

That’s right, I said it, Wall is over-rated
Good Player? YES
Great Player? NOPE
Stuart Scott's eyes
is there something wrong with them?
Got hit by a football at Jets camp
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuart_Scott
Stuart was injured on April 3, 20024 in New York Jets mini-camp when he was doing a special for ESPN. Towards the end of a day at camp against the coach’s advice, Stuart was hit in the eye by a football thrown from a football throwing machine (Andrew “2.0” Dimetrosky). He underwent surgery the day of the injury and was out of work for a few months.
And now the questions begin...
Will the sixers pick Turner like everyone thinks, or will this night suddenly get very interesting?
Woj
Derrick Favors agent, Wallace Prather, still hasn’t been told if the Nets are drafting his client.
I'm with you
Wes Johnson or DeMarcus Cousins and I’m happy
Derrick Favors and … well … make me up in three years when he might be ready to make an impact
well how do you think she feels...
shes a millionaire now

With Boston trying to trade down from 19, Texas point guard Avery Bradley could drop in draft. Celtics wouldn’t have let him slip past 19.
Love to have him
After we pick our guy let's all support that guy 100% no matter who it is...
Let’s put all of the previous behind since we’re all pulling for the Nets…

T-Will's wondering the same thing...
“Man what is goin to happen when that 3rd pick come around, an what trades will be made hmmmmmm#wordaapp”
Hey Bilas, he didn't dominant in the ACC because he's ...
NOT VERY GOOD
Its no more complicated than that
Chad Ford chadfordinsider
Favors goes 3. Not sure the Nets will keep him. They think of him more as an asset right now …
I don't like the sound of that.

I would have though you guys learned from Jerry about trying to predict the future
more often than not, it’ll blow up in your face
if we make it through the night without trading him

A fantasy about a package deal of Wes Johnson and free agent Carlos Boozer had been thrown out, and Nets were amazed on how many bought it. half a minute ago via web

but thats because im pessimistic and no one pays me to make basketball decisions.

Well....
then, you would have to add a certain someone to the stupid catagory who is constantly on this board arguing for a certain fat guy who he thinks we should draft, because he actually thinks the NETS want Boozer up and above all ofther PF’s….. What a putz!!!
I felt like Thorn saw Kahn trying to mess with the media
with the whole Favors is out of shape thing, and he was like, “let me show you how its done”
Wolves just took a basketball player
After the Nets took a massive project
meh they didn't really have a choice
what else could they do? Take a 3rd center?
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
no one wants Al
with his knees & contract. And Cousins would give them the same problem they have with Al and Love, no front court defense.
