"Second Draft" Will Still Go On

PrintOnce the draft is over and the names of the 60 players chosen are known, GM's, their assistants and scouts will turn their attention to that small group of players who might have NBA futures but for whatever reason, didn't make the final cut.
The Nets were among the most active in this "second draft" last June, giving Brian Zoubek a partial guarantee of $50,000 and Ben Uzoh one of $35,000. The Nets cut Zoubek at the end of training camp but extended Uzoh a full season's deal in January. In past, some deals have gotten into low six figures.
And in spite of the impending lockout, the Nets will still make calls to agents of the undrafted, offering either non-guaranteed or partially guaranteed deals. Of course, they won't be able to sign any player until July 1 or whenever the lockout ends. With the hybrid affiliation with the Armor, the Nets are likely to be as aggressive as last season...and more attractive.

I really liked Zoubek in college.
Wish things had worked out. Oh well.

That's great!
I’m sure were be pleasantly surprised as to how many players we thought would go late first early second slip out of the draft and we may get a chance to sign them up.
No matter how bad I’m 100% sure they’re better then Graham.

Agreed.
Like I said before id even use the #36 pick on him or bondonovic.
by Gr8tness on Jun 22, 2011 7:58 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
yea tyler @ #36 is good
would be great if you get him undrafted. Gotta protect this team if for some crazy reason can’t sign Hump. Plus Petros minutes got to go to someone useful…

i keep hearing good thing about Norris Cole. I know nothing about him….just that he’s a PG with a high-top fade.

lmao, yes he has that eraserhead cut from the house party movies
but he also i believe was second or third in the nation in scoring. he’s a mini steph curry without the automatic touch from deep

Not even slightly realistic
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!
yep
they’ll probably be gone 1st round

I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they both go in the 2nd, but there’s absolutely zero chance of either going undrafted

Anyone think the Cavs should take DWill2?
BD
Knight
DWill2
Hickson
Varejao
DWill is the wing that replaces Lebrons scoring and he can learn from Jamison
Would you give up Lopez for Varejao and #1 pick?
they should...
He is a sure fire NBA starter from day 1. While Irving didn’t do much if you look @ his 1year @ Duke.

explain to me what Irving did in college to justify #1 pick?
compared to DWill demolishing Pac-10 & Duke by himself in the NCAA torney….

College production does not automatically equal NBA success, this is proven time and time again.
I like Derrick Williams, I really do, but he’s something of a tweener and ignorantly keeps labeling himself a small forward.
He is no sure fire star or even above average long term starter.
Irving had turf toe. When he was healthy he was flatout studly.
He’s the first guy since maybe Grant Hill that Coach K has actually changed his system for because he was just that good.
Writing off Irving off sample size is silly, the kids got basketball DNA.
Perennial top 5 point guard before his rookie contract is up, book it.

Coach K normally doesn’t take players who only stay for one year, unless they are truly special.

like corey maggette?
and for duke kids if you leave within your first two years you are like a high schooler opting for early entry to a normal school
so boozer and brand fall into that spectrum too

So you feel Irving is in the realm of DRose & JWall??
cause that’s what I’m looking for & I dont see it. As a PG Im looking for Irving to make his team better. In the beginning of the year Nolan Smith #’s was nowhere. Unfortunately, Irving gets hurt, Nolan Smith ACC Player of the Year I believe?? Kyle Singler showing signs to what he was the year prior. Irving comes back from injury; Smith & Singler back to poor production.

I would take Irving over Wall 11 times out of 10.
He might be better then Rose one day, but I feel he’ll be the 4th best point in the league after Paul, Deron and Rose.
Just cause he doesn’t have the wow factor highlight reel athleticism that doesn’t make him a worse prospect or player.
All that athleticism and Rose is still a poor defender.
Chris Paul and Deron are still much better players then Rose.

that deserves a facepalm wow....
Iama agree to disagree with you. When you are trying your hardest to say Irving @ this level of his game is better than DRose & Wall.
I’m really rooting for Irving too since from Jersey & everything that he has a monster year barring no lockout.

What's the facepalm for?
I said out and out that he isn’t the prospect Rose was and IMO won’t be better then him.
Wall?
Ton of potential, maybe a great player one day and had a solid statistical rookie season, but I see little to do with me choosing Kyrie as a prospect over him and believing he will be a much superior player 3 or 4 seasons down the line.
What’s so crazy about that?
Wall might never be a top 10 point guard, no offense intended, but I get this feeling you’re a young buck that thinks Wall is entitled to wind up a superstar without question.

Irving was hurt for 3/4 of the season.
Which is why he didn’t do much.
Jon Barry asked if you can you name any Centers after Dwight Howard, first name was Brook Lopez then Marc Gasol and Bynum
You mean the best centers in the NBA

Jonas Valanciunas looks good on this video
6’11 240 with long arms and he’s only 19.
He’d be a perfect fit for San Antonio if they get a lottery pick.

NETS Jersey Strong Brooklyn Ready
When you have to shoot, shoot don't talk.
Possible undrafted rookies include
many veteran, solid college players, including Brad Wanamaker, Corey Fisher, Jacob Pullen, Demetri McCamey, Dogus Balbay, Jamie Skeen, Alex Tyus, Vernon Macklin, Malcolm Delaney, Austin Freeman, Terrence Jennings, Jeremy Hazell, Ben Hansbrough, LaceDarius Dunn, etc. etc. Many of these players certainly have the potential to play well in the NBA.

Intersteing that Sacramento is looking to get Tony Parker........Tyreke Evans out? Thornton not going back?
Or are they looking to have Parker, Thornton and Evans at the 1, 2 and 3?
Nets gotta look at Evans or Thornton if they are available.
I'm hoping the Nets buy/trade for additional second rounders
Players like Brad Wanamaker (to me, compares to Andre Miller) or even Goudelock will be available in the second round after our pick
