Honeycutt Doesn't Shoot Well, But Still Stands Out On Thursday
by NetsDaily on Jun 17, 2011 6:38 AM EDT
in 2011 NBA Draft
Email
PrintUCLA's Tyler Honeycutt, a projected first rounder, was clearly the best player at the Nets' facility on Thursday, even though he didn't shoot very well. It was Honeycutt's third workout in as many days, so fatigue may have been a factor
"Talking to other GM’s he had good workouts some places, other places he didn’t," Billy King said. "So, trust me, he’s in the mix."
The Nets just don't know if Honeycutt will be there when they pick at No. 27 in a week. The other players in Thursday's workout, including three guys with local ties, may still be there when it's time to draft for the Springfield Armor.
It was the next to last workout for the Nets. Their last workout will be Monday. No word on who's been invited.

Doesn’t fit much of a need, but an absolute steal at 27
On June 29th, 2001, the New Jersey Nets and the Phoenix Suns agreed to a trade involving Stephon Marbury and Jason Kidd.

You don't think
An athletic offensive SF that can play D is a need?………………
Offensive? Honeycutt is a defensive specialist. We already have a defensive specialist SF in Damion James.

I guess
Put this kid at SG and you have two very very athletic defensive wings with some upside.
You can never have too much defense. The issue with playing them both in the same lineup is that you’re going to have a lot of offensive troubles, particularly with your outside shooting.

It's not like
Dwyane Wade and LeBron James are great outside shooters. I know I know those guys can get to the rim at will but you get my point.
If they are wide open they can’t be too bad and with DWILL running the point he should find them and a jump shot is something that can always be taught.
Remember Dwyane Wade had a terrible jumper coming into the NBA. RJ had an even worse one but got much much better.
I have never seen Damion make a 3 yet.
Lebron is an above average 3 point shooter or at least average.

My point is that we have bigger needs. Literally everything except point guard is a need to some degree with this team.

We need way more than James
"We're not there yet, but we're going somewhere," Johnson said. "And we're going to Brooklyn. We're not going to contract. We're going to Brooklyn."
Why so ?
James can give you 16&7 a night, with solid D.
We need a PF equal or better than Humph and a 2 thats athletic( hopefully elite).

I'll be surprised if we don't trade out of 27 one way or another, to be honest with you
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.

That brings up an interesting question...
Does the D-League also shut down if there’s a lockout ?
Will we still have our Springfield Armor team to root for and develop players ?
If we dont trade up for Brooks we should take Iman Shumpert
-Can play both guard positions
-Good size and strength 6’5’’ 225 lbs 18 reps at the combine (is that 185 or 225 lbs)
-6’10" wingspan
-42 inch vertical
-Is both quick and fast
-good rebounder and ball handler which makes him good in transition (Transition. What is that Im a Nets fan.)
-Gets to the line alot and shoot 80% at the line
-Good defender who gets lots of steals which means more transition. (That transition thing again)
His biggest weakness is his shooting.
I like him more as a SG then a PG. I think we can groom him to be our anti Wade defender. Most of the free agents availible that are good defenders are SF’s so we can pick up Shumpert and AK and significantly improve our defense.

Not a bad idea
If he’s still there , I’d take him. I might even move up to get him.

I dont think we would have to move up to get him.
He isnt in that high of demand but he fits alot of needs for us. It just seems like a perfect fit.
by DWILL-of-the-GODZ on Jun 16, 2011 5:57 PM EDT up reply actions
This was also the guy who was credited with Favors not developing in college.
I watched a ton of GT games 2 years ago when Favors was a freshman, and Shumpert was horrible. He had no court vision or passing ability into the low post, dribbled too much and is not a great scorer.
Definitely not a good fit for this team considering what else may be out there.
He isnt a PG
He has alot of flaws as a PG but as a SG he has alot to be desired. He is the best athlete in the Draft and is one of the best wing defenders availible Draft and FA combined. He was among the leaders in steals in college and is a terror on fast breaks. Im not of the opinion that we are going to hit a homerun with the 27th pick. Shumpert looks like a safe double. I have to disagree with you about him not being a good fit. He compliments Morrow perfectly. We need to get someone who is capable of guarding Rondo, Rose, Wade, Irving and Wall who are all going to be in the East for a long time. DWill can but do you really want him chasing these waterbug’s around all game? It will zap all the energy out of him. Shumpert can give us quality defense off the bench and that’s good enough with the 27th pick
by DWILL-of-the-GODZ on Jun 17, 2011 9:43 AM EDT up reply actions
I think Shumpert could develop into a Shannon Brown type. On the other hand, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if he’s out of the league in 2 years. There’s a lot of work to do with him. I don’t think his defense will be good enough from day 1 to justify keeping him on the court while we’re essentially playing 4-on-5 offensively. Down the line with the proper coaching I could see it, but he’s not a first round prospect to me.

-=Brooklyn 2012 - Mikhail is my homeboy!=-
Harper is more of a stretch 4 then a 3.
I think he is a good player but we have more needs at SF and SG. We should buy some of the draft picks at the back end of the draft and get players like Harper, Shumpert, and Tyler

GREG ODEN ..... WOULD YOU SIGN HIM?
Bill Duffy, President of BDA Sports, the agency that represents Portland Trail Blazers center Greg Oden, joined Brian Berger on 750 AM The Game. The Blazers must offer Oden a Qualifying Offer by June 30 to make him a restricted free agent.
Of note, Duffy says that Oden wants to be in Portland long-term but that it could be January before Oden is back playing basketball, adding that “we’ll wait until we get full clearance and then probably err on the side of caution, maybe a month or so after that.” Duffy also said that Oden has undergone “counseling, therapy, interventions” to deal with the mental aspect of all of his injuries.

I wouldn’t trade the 2nd pick for him, but I like the Polish Hammer a lot. And it’s becoming obvious he has plenty of trade value. He averaged 13+9 in just 29 mpg as a Sun. Otis really screwed it up with that trade.

I was watching the draft combine on NBA TV
a couple weeks ago and Honeycutt must have missed about 75% of his three’s. He must be a pretty inconsistent shooter.
In terms of team needs, right now it might look like we need a SF like him, but think about it: We already have Damion James picked at #24 last year, we know he is not starting material on a winner (yet), so we can figure that this offseason we will for sure fill that starting spot at SF, why pick Honeycutt to have him play in Springfield perhaps to work on his jumper and then rot behind D-James.
IMO, in this draft we need to look at drafting quality backups which every contender needs (Big baby, JJ Barea, Taj Gibson, James Anderson, Ryan Anderson), and focus on filling starting roles through trades and free agency.

You obviously didn't understand
Nobody in their right mind draft’s bad players on purpose. The point is that there are no players available at 27 or later that are starters in this league on a winner. By drafting a player in a spot where we already have a young backup and are still looking for a starter, we would be letting that player go to waste, therefore since THERE ARE NO STARTERS AVAILABLE, we must draft a long term back-up.

I would say around pick 20 of this years draft, we start getting to guys who would normally be early second rounders. I would say its a deep 2nd round draft, but abnormally weak first round, perhaps because of lockout, who knows, all I know is next years will be similar to 03’, I dont think any draft in history will surpasss 03’ but next years will be close.

His ability to finish with contact was spectacular that season.
However, he seemed to lose that ability over the past two seasons and that manifested itself through decreased output.
If you're interested, you can follow me @TokenNBR.
I don't know what happened to him. Maybe nagging injuries. Maybe he just lost his confidence when VC left because it was all on him.
Either way it was sad to watch. He handled himself like a pro and never whined and cried about playing for a bad team. I think he really wanted to stick it out until brooklyn. I’d like to see him regain his swag and put together another allstar season. It could happen.

Yeah that was insanity, and Vujacic at his finest
However, Lopez was sulking rather than yelling at his teammates at demanding the ball. That’s what a leader would do, and I hope Lopez morphs into that type of player at some point. He’s talented enough, but his mind is a bit fragile.

I would love Millsap on this team
tough, solid rebounder and capable of scoring 18 ppg. Also, he already has chemistry with Deron from Utah.

Maybe Milsap can be used as leverage to get Hump to sign for less.
Would Utah just trade Milsap away for little in return (Nets don’t have much to offer) just to save cap space?
Now THAT would be a great pickup for them

sadly i cans see
the knicks making a play for devin
Knicks have nothing to offer for Devin's 9 million salary. Everything is tied up in 3 players.
Knicks have no cap space.
what pursuit?
the NBA owns the Hornets. The NBA is not going to let the franchise player go while they look for an owner. The next owner of the Hornets will be super rich. I suspect the identity is known but the NBA doesn’t want to publicize the name because 1) it would hurt their bargaining position in CBA talks if yet another billionaire invests in what they claim is a flawed business model and 2) the team will move.
He can move in 2012, but will he if he has a rich new owner and new arena to play in?
They don’t have any cap space to sign Chris Paul, he was never an option after they got Melo, in spite of what their fans will tell you.

Devin's not a starting PG on a winner
“How can you say that? He made it to the finals with the Mav’s,”………..Yes, but was a much much different player, more restricted and more of a guy who runs the offense, now hes more of a scorer.

Love Jenkins
If you’re looking for the steal of this draft type guy, it’s him. He’s going to be an OJ Mayo/Marcus Thornton type at the next level, a combo guard with an amazing mid range game who is strong enough to defend both guard spots competently and can play the point in a pinch.
I saw nearly every one of Hofstra’s home games and I can say that Jenkins was a better college player in the CAA than Barea and probably as good as Maynor. It’s hard to judge him, because he was surrounded with really terrible talent. Hofstra sans Jenkins was essentially a Division 2 team, especially this year after Halil Kanicevic transferred to Saint Joe’s. He was the team’s only reliable scoring option for the most part, unless one of the off guards got hot from three.
Despite that, every year, Jenkins became more efficient, and he thoroughly dominated North Carolina and Kansas over the last two years.

One thing I am completely confused on
is Ownership. We should be way higher. They base ownership off of the following criteria: Honesty to fans, Loyalty to players, and Community Commitment. What should be much more important is something like if the owner is hands on with fans. Or, better yet, their commitment to winning?

not much to be confused on
honesty to fans: how many big name free agents did we land? outlaw really produced for us?
loyalty to players: basically drafted favors because he’s the easiest tradeable asset. and they threw just about every players name in trade rumors this season and let denver offer some silly proposals
community commitment: we start loud and proud and what do they do? offer us a rigged season-ticket offer.
being hands on with the fans fall under fan honesty and community commitement. if you are disloyal to the players or cant back up guarantees on improving the team, how can you win? obviously thorn and kiki sabatoged the ranking but in a few years the nets should be way higher

We should all enjoy them now while there is still a CBA, a close out to an NBA season, and the ability for teams to conduct transactions.

2 points I would like to make...
1) Even in the alleged “worst draft in NBA history” in 2000 an all-star & Team USA member was chosen at #43 so everyone relax with the whole thing about this draft being terrible and there being no depth b/c someone like Hazell could be undrafted, sign somewhere in camp and make an all-star team ( just used his name for the hypothetical).
2) Can Billy King PLEASE do something to “facilitate” the rebuilding processes of Cleveland & Minnesota? I look at these rosters and I see Kevin Love, JJ Hickson, Ramon Sessions, Michael Beasley and a dearth of valuable draft picks that are dangling at the fingers of two GM’s who haven’t exactly proven to be Executive of the Year candidates… Surely there is a deal to be made with one or both of these teams who are just BEGGING to be fleeced
Were they saying "Boo" or "Boo-urns?"
@SlayerSantana on Twitter
We have no assets, that's the problem
These aren’t superstar players who are demanding trades to specific teams. Other teams have FAR more to offer than we do.
A trade for Dwight is pretty much the only thing we have the asset for, which is a 20PPG center to replace their 20PPG center (and draft picks) + cap space hopefully in the new CBA.
Josh Smith, Monta Ellis, etc. are all available, but we don’t have any assets to acquire them.

Somebody smarter than me hammer out a 3-team deal b/n us, CLE & MInny...
Cleveland wants that #2 pick and cap room, Minny wants to get rid of that #2 pick and needs everything. is there a scenario out there where CLE gets the #2 pick, Minny gets the #4, our #27&36 and we get Antawn Jamison & Mike Beasley?
We’d then have Beasley & Brook down low, Deron&Jamison in the back court and AJ’s huge contract coming off the books just in time for big D.Howard to be an FA. Sign AK-47 and you can win a solid 45 games like that
Were they saying "Boo" or "Boo-urns?"
@SlayerSantana on Twitter
I'm not sure you get it
If Minny were to, for example, trade the #2 pick to Golden State for Monta Ellis, they would also want the GS first round pick.
So #2 pick (D. Williams) for Monta Ellis + #11 pick.
The Nets have NOTHING to offer teams. It’s time to stop thinking about big time trades, and time to start thinking role players.

I really would like to see the Nets swing for the fences and take Selby if he is there….
Selby is going to be a make or break player – but at 27 – why not roll the dice? The kid is either going to be a dynamic scorer (either as a starter or a 6th man) or will be the next Antoine Wright/TWIll and out of the league in a few years. Either way his athleticism and scoring ability would add some offensive firepower to our roster. He will be better in the NBA than he was at Kansas.
We should walk away with 2 (maybe more depending on trades) quality rotation players.
I have been a big proponent of Tyler – but with the prospects of the lockout – it worries me slightly about taking a guy who NEEDS development and may be barred from the team facilities for months this summer/fall/winter.
does anyone think we could move up to the 9 pick from charlotte?

Who would you draft at 4? We can assume Williams and Irving are definitely off the board.

If Kanter is off the board, then what? Brandon Knight? Definitely not worth it
