Nets Scouts Travel to Eurocamp

in 2011 NBA Draft
Email
PrintWith as many as a third of the first round picks from overseas, the Nets have dispatched their top scout to Italy where he'll meet up with the team's international scout to watch European prospects this weekend at the Adidas Eurocamp outside Venice.
Gregg Polinsky and Danko Cvjeticanin will spend the weekend in Treviso.
Like the Pre-Draft Combine, not everyone will be showing up and some will only attend for measurements and drills and others will only make themselves available for private or limited workouts off-site. There's also a camp for younger players.
Who might be available where the Nets pick, assuming they don't move up (or down) from their current spots at #27 and #36?
Davis Bertans, a 6'10" 18-year-old shooter from Latvia (who might still drop out); Bojan Bogdanovic, 22, a 6'7" small forward from Serbia; and Lucas Nogueira, a Brazilian 18-year-old who's 6'11" but painfully thin and raw. Other top Euros, like Lithuanian seven-footer Donatas Motiejunas (above), have been jumping all over draft boards and could be in range if the Nets decided to trade up.
Meanwhile, Fred Kerber tells FOX Sports the Nets like guards Marshon Brooks of Providence and Malcolm Lee of UCLA.

Even Kerber shares the same sentiment as the Nets FO
The requirement for athleticism at the wings.
This is why I see Thaddeus Young starting at the 3 at the start of the ‘11-’12 season.
I’ve also gotten the idea the Nets are going after Marshon Brooks. He fits the bill as a 4 year player, he has the ability to drive to the basket with ease, he’s a confident shooter, and his incredible wingspan gives him huge potential as a defender, something I feel AJ would love.
I’m sure he’ll get picked in the 20’s range, so if he goes before 27, the Nets should just package the 27th and 36th and cash for him, then send 3 mil for the draft rights of either Jon Leuer or Jeremy Tyler, or since the Nets have a billionaire owner, why not both.

those are all names I like
but you haven’t seen much if anything on who the Nets like. Very close-mouthed this year.
i like the idea of getting tyler or leuer in the second round.

yup, those three are who I'd target...
yup, those three are who I’d target… especially because they are all talented and ready to contribute right away as well as having great potential to grow.
But the best thing is that their rookie contracts would be smaller than their peers getting picked ahead of them and they may be just as good, if not better, than a lot of them = bargain!
Honestly...
Unless an amnesty clause is implemented, I don’t think the Nets should pursue Thaddeus Young. Obviously, he’s more explosive and efficient than Outlaw — and he has a plethora of upside — but it would be redundant. They’re both tweeners.
I still think that Outlaw is going to come back strong, next season. I’m not saying he’ll be an all-star, but he can be a quality sixth man; as long as he’s not asked to be a top-3 option on offense, he’ll be fine. His contract isn’t as monstrous as many Nets fans make it out to be

Still if theres any way we could get Alec Burks I’d rather get him. But Marshon Brooks is always plan B, other than that I don’t really want anybody in this draft that’s attainable.

Now people want Thad Young?
I don’t get it. Weeks before people were saying they didn’t know if he could play SF as efficiently because he plays PF most of the time. As a guy coming off the bench where is Damion James in that lineup, and why would you want to pay a lot for Thad when he’s just going to come off the bench.
No Thad Young, its not happening. Lets not limit our possibilities, every possible lineup should always include Dwight, and Ak47 ;D

It might. Philly is desperately trying to trade Iggy to make room for Young
He isnt even going to cost that much. He is a good fit for our team since he can play PF also. Brooks would start over morrow since he is a slasher. Morrow and Young of the bench would keep the points rolling when we sub out Lopez

We need to draft one Shooter and one Big.
Getter done. They have plenty of great shooter in Europe. Then try to move up and take a chance on faried or lauer. Not that many centers in the draft. Just PF.

I am 100% positive a deal will be done on draft night. Brooks seems to have gotten a promise from a higher seeded team. I can see us moving up to take him or dealing.
Faried is dropping in a lot of mocks but I don’t think there is that much interest on the Nets part.
by power_njerz on Jun 11, 2011 11:05 AM EDT via mobile reply actions
Probably got a promise from Boston. They pick at # 25. We have to move up. Thats probably why he dropped out on Thursday, he knows he wont be there at 27.
Nets need to move up to # 20 the Timberwolves pick to get Brooks. Got a feeling Denver or Boston will take him. Offer Minnesota The 27th and 36th picks plus cash. Also if somehow we can also get Michael Beasley from them to would be good.
LOL we are gonna not only
take the higher pick but we are gonna get one of their better players in return???
Sounds like a perfect world to me

If we move up
I hope we get someone like Vucevic. Doubt he makes it past Portland at #21, so targeting Minny’s pick (#20) might be a good idea. Who knows, someone like Harris or Faried might be available there, too.
I like Vucevic, Faried no. Marshon Brooks is who we need. I watch him and i see Terrance Williams without the baggage. A very explosive 2 just like T-will was.
marshon doesnt look that athletic. lol
faried will drop on draft night…people are coming to reality on him, i believe.
he’s undersized 6’6"-6’7" and has zero offensive game. He’s also a senior, which doesnt help him much.

Reggie Evans is a really good comparison for Faried, I think. Good player and a guy you want on your team, but how early can you justify taking him?

actually, he is Bosnian, born in Mostar
which as we all know is 1) a Bosnian Croat town and 2) the home of Zoran Planinic.
He is listed as both Serb and Croatian on draft boards.
Wouldn't Brooks be a lottery pick?
Think about it; a great looking SG prospect who people are comparing from Kobe to Crawford. What SG’s do you take over him? If you have to choose between him, Klay Thompson, and Alec Burks, who do you take? If you say Brooks, then you’re taking him over “a lottery player,” and “a top 10 player.” One reason drafts don’t match mocks are because hype and highschool reputation start the mock draft process. However when a GM is on the clock he’s choosing the guy he likes the most, bottom line, not the guy who he’s supposed to like. Marshon fits the bill of a guy who gets pegged as a low pick by fans who evaluate value based on mock rankings spuriously affected by hype-bias. I think it’ll cost too much to go get him, unless there’s a run on bigs. Otherwise he appears to be an attractive guard prospect.

DWill all the way to the Finals!! some day, very close...
I'm not sold on Brooks.
My brother is a Providence College alum that follows the Friars very closely, but knows very little about the NBA. I asked him his thoughts on Brooks, and he didn’t think he’d be a good NBA player. He said he was basically a ball hog in a horrible system on a horrible team. He also said the guy plays zero defense. I haven’t seen him much, so i cant really comment on how i feel about him. I do know that with 4 year players, while you may be getting a guy who’s NBA ready, the reason why he never left early was because no NBA team would have taken him.
The question is, is he a ball hog because that’s who he is? Or is he a ball hog because he played on a horrible team in a horrible system? Brooks is a boom or bust player. He could be a “Please stop taking so many bad shots” type of player (think Larry Hughes without the defense) or he could be a Kevin Martin type.

yeah, he was a ball hog because of the system..
he was the star on the team and the rest of the team was very limited so the Coach made a system around him….read his interview on hoopshype.

If Nets really like Marshon…they trade Farmar and cash for him.
Give Malcolm Lee a promise…and he could be the new back up PG. Then in the second round we can go with a Big…Jeremy Tyler, Jordan Williams or Jon Leuer.

No it isn't
But overall I think this draft like always will surprise us…
… in last years we have said much times "oh I don’t remenber a draft so weak" and then bang, they surprise us…
And this will be no diferrent, I believe this draft will be special, I don’t remenber seen such an unconcensus draft, and isn’t so much for his supposed weak level, it’s more from the strange factors that happened this year with the CBA that made many of the top dogs withdraw, making others emerge and with the high number of International players in the mix. And will be these quality International players that I believe will set the tone to make this draft very special. Other factor will be the high number of sleepers that I believe this draft will show us, probably not stars but guys that can play at high level and be useful to an NBA team.
DWill all the way to the Finals!! some day, very close...
you know there are actually bad drafts
that didn’t surprise and supposedly great drafts that were bogus, like 2007.
Other drafts were extremely top heavy like 2003. Overall, best drafts in past 20 years were the 1999 and 1996 drafts. The worst 2000.
yeah of course there really good drafts and really bad drafts, like everything in life, but you say that now, that you have seen how their career is going,....
…. but I’m talking about when everyone previews the drafts, and I remenber in the last years that beeing said much times, per example on the 2009 class, where everyone said it was going to be basically Griffin and now we look at that and see it was a really deep draft class, with even a good number of 2nd rounders showing they can play in NBA.
Just like I think this year will surprise us, the International players will make it special.
DWill all the way to the Finals!! some day, very close...
its weak on superstar talent
but its a deep draft.. there are players that are nba players in this draft all the way to the 40th pick or so. But the thing is there isn’t much difference from the 5-6th pick to the 40th pick talent-wise.
For instance, a guy like Bertans (ranked bubble 1st/2nd rounder) could be as good or better than a Jan Vesely (ranked #4 in many drafts).
Even though I love Kemba Walker, he could end up like Jonny Flynn and Jimmer Fredette could be out of the league faster than you can say Adam Morrison while Deandre Liggins or Shelvin Mack could be better fits to last in the NBA.
Even in the top 2 projected picks, they aren’t sure things. Derrick Williams could be overshadowed by the success of the Morris Twins who are projected to go later in the lottery.
The draft has no sure things—so yea its kinda weak if you have a lottery pick ( my money’s on Enes Kanter as the best in the draft) but if you have a later pick, like us, they this draft is great. We get talent comparable to anyone projected to be on the lottery bubble on the cheaaaaap.
Bertans and Nogueira intrigue me a lot. They may not be able to contribute immediately, but I like their upside. I generally hate the jump shooting Euro big, but I like Motiejunas a lot. I’d be stunned if he’s available for us, even with a trade up though. Bogdanovic is an unknown to me

I think so too
NBAdraft.net seems to agree also. They dropped him down to #20
Yea I think he's a bust..
But he could turn into a Serge Ibaka… Serge was raw coming into the league.
I think Enes Kanter is going to be the best player from this draft. He has Derrick Favors athleticism but an offensive game too. I can see him being dominant.
I really like him
In this podcast Givoney seems to think that the downside for him is small.
I think he fits well next to Lopez as he will hustle, play d, and intimidate with his length.
If he falls to 14 the Nets should trade the Houston pick back to draft him.
Can anybody explain to me why people completely ignore defense? Defense wins champions, not offense. Beasley is not a championship player.

I believe it was eLone who suggested it
but we could offer to take back Johnny Flynn’s contract which is about 3 years, and give them Farmar + James + our picks in the 2011 draft.
It wouldn’t take that much to get Beasley since teams know MIN will be looking to dump him.
Gives them a nice backup PG on a good contract, rids them of a bad contract, and also multiple draft picks.
Jonny Flynn was the #6 pick in the draft just two years ago. As for his “bad contract”, the Wolves have a team option after next season. It’s essentially a 1 year at 3.4M, they’ll manage.

+1
if MIN keeps the pick and takes Derrick Williams the Nets should go HARD for Beasley.
Even an offseason where we brought in Beasley via trade and lets say JR Smith via free agency we would have a pretty legit and athletic starting 5.
Dwill-JR-Beasley-Hump-Brook. Definitely a playoff team.

You can teach defense.
You can’t teach athleticism and length.
It’s just that simple? You can just teach defense? I mean, sure, players could learn to play better defense, but JR and Beasley have shown that they don’t have that mentality. They don’t care about defense. Better athletes have gone years playing awful defense. It’s not as easy as just saying “oh we could teach them how to play defense,” some players will never figure it out, and even if they have the potential to be a great defender they will never reach it.

We've gone through this before.
J.R. Smith has never played under a coach who stressed defense and he’s certainly not the type to take the initiative on that side of the court. He has the tools; he just needs to be taught — Avery Johnson should be able to do just that. It should also be noted that Smith played above average defense, last season.
Michael Beasley is going into his fourth season in the NBA. He has also yet to have a coach who stresses defense. He has the tools; he just needs to be coached.
Remember LeBron James used to be a horrible on-ball defender? Now look at him.

Was one of the higher BBIQ players the Nets had.
But yeah, he had (or has) a Twitter obsession and didn’t like his alarm clock.
Dude
he was a turnover machine. I would not say he had the highest bbiq.
by NetsKiNG on Jun 11, 2011 1:43 PM EDT up reply actions 1 recs
Yes and no.
A good portion of those turnovers resulted from what I like to call “Jason Williams syndrome.” His passes were so difficult and unexpected that players would often not be ready to receive the ball. This would lead to turnovers. That’s not to say that he didn’t have a number of unforced errors.
He did take a lot of risks, but he was only a rookie. He certainly had great knowledge of spacing and defensive rotations. If you watched last season, you’d see that veteran players would often take direction from TWill — a rookie — on where they should be for a certain play.
It was a mistake to trade him, but hopefully the Houston draft pick pans out.
maybe im crazy but i seen the same
the only thing i didnt like was those one hand pull up floaters. I really thought he would be a good poor mans Wade.
So you're saying the Nets need a headache.

Malcolm Lee is the guy i want.
hope we get him with one of our picks…
I would pick Lee over Marshon Brooks.
@Al_Iannazzone: BREAKING NEWS: Nets are close to acquiring Deron WIlliams from Utah, sources told The Record.
-Feburary 23, 10:54 am.
Lee is safer than Brooks, but the upside isn’t even close.
On June 29th, 2001, the New Jersey Nets and the Phoenix Suns agreed to a trade involving Stephon Marbury and Jason Kidd.
On February 23rd, 2011, the New Jersey Nets and the Utah Jazz agreed to a trade involving Devin Harris and Deron Williams.
A new beginning. LETS GO NETS!

and Outlaw makes $7 million.

DeShawn and Tayshaun - shake and bake
Deron Williams – Jordan Farmar
DeShawn Stephenson – Anthony Morrow – Malcom Lee
Tayshaun Prince – Damion James
Kris Humphries – Keith Benson – Travis Outlaw
Brook Lopez – Johan Petro
"This isn’t fantasy or rotisserie basketball. Why would Denver want Outlaw? Would you?"
twil
Might’ve been a head case, but he had d-wade potiential. Plus, he’s 100 percent better than outlol. Outlol gave net fans headaches, why didn’t we trade him away after the first 15 games? Smh. Portland wouldve wanted him back. Just saying.

.............Portland
Would NOT have wanted him back….
if twill never wouldve gotten traded we couldve had...
Dwill / farmar / maybe gaines
Morrow / graham
Twill / outlol
Hump / wright
Lopez/ petro
Not a thrilling lineup. But way better than what we ended the season with. Maybe we couldve gotten the 8th seed. If Dwill didn’t have the injury. And I’m more the positive twill couldve flourished playing with Mr. #8

and that means.......
I think he can come out as the best player in the draft. He has game, he has confidence and he has the superstar name(i rate high). there is a lot to a name. If Goey Graham had M.J skills, he’d still be a nobody.
I would say the Nets need to draft any particular player from this draft considering they're all projected to have marginal impact
If “a player they like” comes off the board earlier than they anticipated, do you really think they think they won’t be able to find an alternative player at roughly the same talent level who will unexpectedly drop down to them? I think it’ll be a wash.
2010-2011 = acquire an All-Star via cap space as Thorn himself said
2011-2012 = make the playoffs without hindering future flexibility
2012 off-season = sign the second All-Star
2012-2013 = make a run for the championship
Mission accomplished thus far.
I'm not falling in love with any particular prospect given all these guys' projections
If any one of these guys is off the board by the time we select, I won’t lose any sleep. There will be a roughly equivalent player available.

I really like Marshon Brooks as well
But if for some reason he’s gone by 27, i think the nets should strongly consider Justin Harper. He seems like a 3 to me with his skillset, is a pure shooter, very athletic and watching some film of him kind of reminds me of a Danny Granger or Kevin Durant type of player. I would say
1. Marshon Brooks
2. Justin Harper
3. Josh Selby
4. Malcom Lee
5. Kyle Singler
They better be sure Harper is a 3
We already have 7 million dollar outlaw for that tweener role off the bench.

if you take him at #36, who cares.
and he has fallen into second round after Chicago. No idea why but he has.
Maybe it's a good idea the Nets buy more draft picks at late or beginnig of 2nd round...
…I’m really seeing a bunch of sleepers in this draft, more picks we have, more chances we have of finding that sleepers. If the get a chance they should try to get Bertrans, Vucevic or Mirotic.
DWill all the way to the Finals!! some day, very close...
Marshon Brooks 52 POINTS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=PQFhRBB8LQo
that the man who put a Big East-record 52 points ,Brooks scored 52 of his team’s 93 points,amazing season Marshon Brooks has had. Brooks (25.4 ppg)
If he is
we have a player who wants to be on the Nets
WORDDDD
Brook Lopez is the MAN!

I don't really hate Outlaw, its just fun to make fun of him
i dont like how most of these euros are so young with underdeveloped bodies and raw games
when you think of ginobli, parker, scola, barbosa, dragic, barea, etc they all spent time in foreign leagues or college advancing their game before coming over as adults
the only raw guy i know coming over currently is dirk who had to work his tail off to get where he is today. most of the other premature euros turn out like ibaka and darko
