Around SBN: The Pros and Cons of an 18-game NFL Schedule

In Final Mocks, It's Favors, Crawford, Gallon

The 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.

Gawd please let the Nets take Shaq/Karl Malone/Rodman/Zo hybrid and forget about Yinka Dare 2.0!!!

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.

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.

by Dobermite on Jun 24, 2010 7:00 PM EDT reply actions  

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.

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.

James’ biggest strength clearly revolves around how hard he plays, a part of his game we don’t seem to have emphasized strongly enough in previous reports, and a skill in its own right. He brings an unbelievable amount of energy to the floor every time he steps out onto the court, being incredibly aggressive in pretty much everything he does.

That manifests itself in a number of areas—the way he runs the floor in transition, crashes the offensive glass, cuts and finishes at the rim, and just the overall toughness he offers. He is the leading rebounder in Big 12 history, averaging over 10 boards per game this season, and regularly is the one coming out of a crowd with a loose ball in traffic when his team needs an extra possession.

you could make a serious argument that he’s as good a prospect as Wes Johnson. High scorer and high-efficiency scorer, super rebounder.
This is a great acquisition.

he means make up for

when we send both of them in a sign and trade to give Boozer a max deal.
