PrintLost in the news about the Yi Jianlian trade, Rod Thorn's departure and impending free agency travel was the stated purpose of Tuesday's press conference at the PNY Center, introduction of the Nets two rookies, 6'10" PF Derrick Favors and 6'8" SF Damion James
Both promised quick rewards for the Nets. Favors denied he is a work in progress and said he can help with defense and rebounds.
"I can contribute right away with my defense and rebounding. My offense, right now there's some work I have to do to compete in the NBA," said the draft's No. 3 pick.
Avery Johnson thinks James can be a defensive stopper and the Texas senior wants people to know he's already had some experience defending a top NBA offensive talent.
"I’ve guarded possibly one of the top three players in the NBA every summer, Kevin Durant," James said of a UT teammate he says is like a brother to him. "With that being said, he plays like a guard but he can post. So I can take on the challenge."

Pritchard?
Why is Pritchard’s name never brought up? That seems so natural. Can anyone explain?

no one knows
I want Jerry Manuel fired now, not three years from now. That is my stance.- John Peterson
His official measurement
in sneakers at the Draft Combine was 6’7.75"
Rounding off, that’s 6’8"…James Posey.
OH EM GEE
Jamie Feick…now thas a name i have not heard in a very long time.
I came. I conquered. I fell asleep.
Favors official measurement
in sneakers at the Draft Combine: 6’10.25".
He may still grow. He will be the younger player in the NBA.
Favors is still a boy. damieon james is much more comfortable in his skin. Look at the way they even wear their clothes. Favors is one of those big kids that was embarrassed to be so big in school so he slouched down and tried to hide his size. My brother was like that until he owned it. Favors will come around, Avery is a good father figure and so is sam mitchell. Tough love works wonders.
