ESPN: Brooks Best Pure Scorer
by Net Income on Jan 13, 2012 6:02 PM EST
Email
PrintESPN's David Thorpe is out with his rookie rankings and he has taken the full measure of the 2012 Rookie Class and declared that Marshon Brooks is "the best pure scorer in this class" of rookies, ahead of a number of players taken well before him at#25. Thorpe ranks Brooks third, just behind Ricky Rubio and Kyrie Irving. So does John Hollinger.
"Brooks has shown the talent to slash for buckets while also making almost 40 percent of his 3s," writes Thorpe. "I like that he's mixing in both skills rather than one or the other". Thorpe also takes measure of Brooks measurements. "At 6-foot-5, he's a bit smaller than ideal for a shooting guard, but he's a tall man from shoulders to floor. Plus, his huge wingspan helps him overwhelm many guards who are listed at his size."

Love what this kid brings to the court
Sad we will lose him if we get Howard, but we will have Howard which will be awesome
I doubt the Nets will give up Brooks...
I doubt Brooks will be a deal breaker for Orlando.
If the deal is that close too happening…they will find a compromise.
Nets might of gotten super lucky in the draft this year...
It happens once in awhile but never for the Nets.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed…but so far, so good.
Now that you've said "Never"...
Just thinking back, I really cant remember a late round steal by this team. The only thing that comes to mind is getting PJ Brown in the 2nd round. I am trying to remember another without going to nbadraft and cheating…

It kills Hollinger to give dap to Brooks
The 25th pick in the draft, Brooks has wowed with his shot-creating skills. Unexpectedly, he’s also been fairly efficient, which was a problem for him in college.
Brooks has become the Nets’ go-to scorer by default, averaging a team-best 21.7 points per 40 minutes for the league’s 23rd-ranked offensive team. This isn’t just a guy putting up numbers on a bad team, either; Brooks’ 55.7 TS% is in the top third of all shooting guards, and he’s been a major plus on the boards. While he can suffer from tunnel vision offensively, and it remains to be seen if he can continue shooting this accurately, he’s a major steal if he plays anywhere remotely this well.
Brooks unexpectedly leads all rookies in estimated wins added, although it’s a close three-way race. Two factors will hurt him, however, in the Rookie of the Year race. First, his team — the fact that New Jersey gets hammered every game will weigh negatively on him since he’ll be seen as just a gunner. Second, however, is the hype factor — the two point guards ahead of him are simply generating more highlights, and that can be tough to overcome.
It’s like one of those back handed compliments. LOL He hates us. Brooks was one of the most effient players in the NCAA last year so how was that unexpected.

Superstar is an overused term

If Deron left, I would be fine and MarShon and Brook Lopez as a good core. Maybe Hump in there too. Add Bojan and that’s 4 good young players going into Brooklyn. Add one of the young bigs from the draft and a veteran PG through free agency. There may be a chance to trade for another star player in a couple of years. (Lebron)
If Deron is traded (doubtful)
then we better get picks and a nice young PG as well to surround Brooks and Lopez

Don't see the Wolves making that deal
Rubio could be the best PG in the league a few years down the road. His ceiling is really high.
Yeah it makes no sense for Minny
They would be giving up two great prospects to rent D-Will for a couple months, and even with him they probably wouldn’t be competitive this year. IF D-Will is traded, its going to be hard to get equal value for him, because teams aren’t going to give up a lot of a rental player
bingo
Rubio goes out there to go to work, Deron is usually throwing his hands up in disgust every other play. Rubio is going to revitalize the Timberwolves, while the Nets stagnant and wilt with Deron looking like he wants to walk off of the floor.
Not feeling that garbage, sorry M I K E. You were the first one to question this dude and imo, your initial assessment was right.
Play hard, win or lose. IMO if Deron put out 100% the team would give a greater effort and hell we might have had more than just two wins, but its not hard to see why these guys don’t give max effort when their alleged leader is too busy holding his nose up in the air to play basketball like a man.

A little knock on the Nets fans, deservedly so
Asked what he misses most about being with the Jazz, Williams talked about the 19,911 who filled EnergySolutions Arena with electricity, passion and, in his opinion, a vibe unparalleled elsewhere.
“I think playing in front of the fans,” Williams said. “We …”
Williams caught himself and chuckled after saying “we,” and continued.
“They have the best fans in the NBA, I believe, game in and game out,” Williams said. “They support the Jazz no matter what the record is, how we’re playing, who we were going up against. They just always had our back.”

I’m still not sure that D-Will gets traded. How much value could the Nets possibly expect back for him? Its not realistic to expect any team to give up elite prospects for a player that probably won’t re-sign with them anyway.

like I said I always was a huge DWill fan and it was a dream come true to see him traded here
but he’s played like crap, he deserves the criticism.
I bought a D-Will jersey day one as soon as I got home.
He was one of my favorites and a joy to watch. With the Nets-not so much.
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
"I’m anxious to see if they make the same mistake twice." - Shaq talking about the Magic.
WHAT
Of course we would change our minds. We are dogging him because he has put on consistently bad performances while expressing a negative attitude.
If he plays well and actually leads the team I’ll be glad to change my mind.

if he changes his effort and starts producing then of course we'll change our tune
until now he’s been nothing but consistently mediocre

ITS A VVVVVVCCCCCCCCCCC THREEEEEEEEEEEEE
how dare you call Grant Hill a scrub
The man deserves nothing but respect for persevering in this league despite terrible injury luck. He also could have jumped ship to Miami but stayed loyal to Phoenix

ok ok
maybe not a “scrub” but an unlikely hero

I'll give you that
Scrub is a loaded term, I’d rather it not be used on respectable veterans

"They support the Jazz no matter what the record is, how we’re playing, who we were going up against. They just always had our back."
This coming from a d-bag that turns the ball over and quits on the play, has the worst body language out of any Nets player that i have seen in years, and got himself kicked out of a game just because he felt like being sassy
yeah, he’s on the list.

do we really need him?

if he could perfect a mid-range jumper he would be perfect
his rebounding and hustle is such a plus to this team. and he is the best perimeter defender

Question is
Do we pick up his option years? He’s not making much, but he can’t stay on the court.
Morrow will shut down Shannon Brown
or maybe not
Uhh Morrow couldn't shut down Chair

how do you shut down a chair?
i get the point. lol.
Not "a chair"
Have some respect. Chair regularly out-played Yi in practices.

Do you guys think that maybe Deron is just now realizing that he alone can't carry a team?
This is probably a terrible shock to his ego right now. I’m sure he thought of himself as a superstar as well, but his talent alone can’t will us to victory… At least it hasn’t yet.
All he has to do...
is tell him self that Petro is his starting center. That should make him fill better…
or worse.
"Beware the Ides of March."
No, I don't think he expected to have to carry a team himself.
I think he expected to have more help. That is the problem.
However, when he is hitting his shot, he CAN carry a team himself, if only he had some help up front, besides from Hump.
If at least Lopez was healthy it would be a different team and DWill
The plan was Howard or Lopez. Not Petro and injury-prone Okur.
I know, I know, that’s the first time that’s been said here.
that's the thing
If he’s in on the “all in for Dwight”, he should know having a less than stellar supporting cast is a consequence of this strategy.
by sheepareevil on Jan 13, 2012 8:28 PM EST via iPhone app up reply actions
But we didn't expect an injured Lopez
Up until a few days before the season started, It was “all in” with the expirings and Lopez still around while we wait on Orlando for Dwight.
It became a different situation altogether when Brook went down. He did warn us we won’t like him because he’ll be grumpy.
Question
I have a photo that is in my iPhoto library that I need to show all of you from a few years back. A little help?
Take a screenshot of it using Command+Shift+4
Then upload it to a website link tinypic.com
I think it's fine.

Short?
“At 6-foot-5, he’s a bit smaller than ideal for a shooting guard…”
Really? For a SG? Wade, Kittles, Ray Allen, And many others would disagree.
Talk about being nitpicky.
