Schroeder: Nets to Sign D-League Wing Andre Emmett

PrintRidiculous Upside's Scott Schroeder reports Monday night that the Nets will sign D-League wing Andre Emmett this week. Emmett is 6-5 and 29 years old. He was drafted in the second round out of Texas Tech by the Sonics in 2004 and has eight games of NBA experience, in early 2005 with the Grizzlies.
This season, Emmett has averaged 23.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.8 steals in 24 games with the Reno Bighorns, shooting 53 percent from the field and 34-for-74 (46 percent) from 3-point range. Over the years, he's also played for two other D-League teams as well as for clubs in Lithuania, Belgium, France, Venezuela, China (twice) and Puerto Rico.
To sign Emmett, the Nets would need to waive either Keith Bogans or Damion James, who are both out for the season. Bogans is the more likely candidate.

cool, another larry owens
they might as well start rotating in these d league guys, nothing to lose at this point

Time for #Emmet-sanity!
In all seriousness, I have confidence in BK’s scouting, so I’m looking forward to it. Welcome aboard!
King keeps rolling the dice on these D-League guys
maybe for once we find someone serviceable
Nets had Owens ranked highest in D-League
defense.

Owens looked really lost out there... at least he could be throwing his body around and hustling but he didn't...
and he was long, lean and muscular, too…

+1000
plus he has the potential to be a solid defender, long arms and athletic. Could play some minutes at the 3 too.
We'll Be Fine.

I wonder why nobody wants him in NBA, and even in Cina he was cutted.
2012 Lineup: D-Will - Brooks - AK47 - Lopez - D12... Book it!
why the hell not
let’s see if he can shoot the 3 and defend some…

Adam Morrison got his team multiple championships barely trying, if that's not a great player...I don't know who is.
i can see it now
Mike Breen in the finals:
deron passes it to dwight in the post. out to bogdanovic, swings to Emmet for 3. BANG!!!
all part of the plan

it'd be nice if this guy had another two inches

someone who can drive and dunk ?

any idea (@net income?) on most likely move we r making to facilitate this
i know the article says bogans or james, but are there any “irons in the fire” you’ve heard of?
In all seriousness, this is what I was hoping for
We might as well give a kid who is lighting up the D League a chance. Who knows, he might become the next Jeremy Lin or Anthony Morrow. I think this is a solid move.

Would you prefer to just waste a roster spot on an injured player?
Dwight Howard wouldn't start over Johan Petro

sounds like Spurs model to me...
and like they said any decent SF at this point in the season is already gone. Might as well take a shot.
by Whoop Dee Damn Doo on Feb 14, 2012 10:41 AM EST up reply actions
I'm sure DWill is on board
At this point, they are just counting down to Dwight like the rest of us. Games don’t really have any significance.
I don't think it would work
Most folks, including many Asian Americans the Nets would be trying to bring in with that hypothetical move, see players like Yi as meandering, unrelatable, foreign supergiants.
A Nets fan deep in Knicks territory. SOS
maybe he won’t be so bad playing with D-Will
by avilanets85 on Feb 13, 2012 11:47 PM EST up reply actions
Yi is living his dream as back up to Dirk.
And guarding the gatoraid. He is actually doing ok as role player.
Watching highlights of him...
He looks athletic and can get to the rim and finish pretty well.
by dwill8brooklynbound on Feb 13, 2012 11:24 PM EST reply actions
A bit confused why none of the writers have picked this up yet
Dwight Howard wouldn't start over Johan Petro
The move hasn't been announced by the Nets
by NJ Champ on Feb 14, 2012 12:05 AM EST via Android app up reply actions
Maybe this guy can score and not look totally lost?
He’ll play five games, and then be lost for the season, like everybody else…what a horrible year this has been!

The Nets are the territory for D Leaguers, you get called up most likely you will get a deal with the Nets.
With all the d league guys we bring up to the d league caliber guys on our team I think we should just move to the d league. Atleast we will get to see our team win games.
OT: but i was EPSN.com and tom penn was up saying that dwight’s best option is to go to Golden State. he says it’s a great city but check out the trade proposal
Orl gets ellis, david lee and udoh
gs gets dwight and glen davis
but then penn says maybe Golden state throws curry in that trade also. so if all of the talent in Golden state goes to Orlando then who is dwight playing with in GS? Stupid right?
exactly the guy sounded like he was getting paid under the table by GS to say all these things
by avilanets85 on Feb 13, 2012 11:50 PM EST up reply actions
dont know why the pundits refuse to focus on the most important thing which is
where dwight WANTS to go.
imagine something extremely witty here
he says that in the video also that GS is not on his list but should be
by avilanets85 on Feb 13, 2012 11:51 PM EST up reply actions
The funniest part was the way that lady was looking at him while he was saying this
buuut….a team that’s not on his list? lol
by sipitioking on Feb 14, 2012 12:04 AM EST up reply actions
yeah all of a sudden tom penn loves GS.
by avilanets85 on Feb 14, 2012 12:07 AM EST up reply actions
Saw highlights of him
He can dribble the ball. He can catch the ball. Bonus, he can dunk, too.
Win.
something half this team can't do

He's a 29 year old D-Leaguer
He hasn’t made it in the NBA up to this point so don’t count on him suddenly becoming the next Jeremy Lin.

Don't think home runs.
Try small improvements.
At this point
Arenas should just wait for Dwight to be moved… cuz we could actually use him.

NJ Nets making D-league dreams come true
of once again or the very first time playing in the NBA.
I hope you stay healthy, from the bottom of my heart. I’ve had enough of injuries, both on this team specifically and in the league.
We’re actually the #1 team in the NBA with the most injuries. Most missed games due to injury.
i wish we had someone to play instead of him

He'll play for about two minutes....
Score a couple of baskets…..Commit about three fouls and then get injured……

after 2 games
He might break his 5th Emmettatarsal like Lopez.

I still cant believe DWIGHT wants to come to the NETS!
everytime i really think about i cant believe it. i do not care what this season looks like cause it’s all about next season and the future!
I still can't believe ANDRE EMMETT wants to come here

he probably doesn't even want to come here...
he might get injured.
i'm pretty sure
the Nets are secretly the Make-A-Wish Foundation… making D-Leaguers’ dreams come true
haha i hate bosh
how does that make you hate bosh
that was awesome

For what it is I like it
He has been pretty successful ever where but the NBA so far. Texas tech all time leading scorer under Bobby Knight, lead the Belguim league in scoring, set the record in the CBA with 71 points in a game, and now apparently doing very well in the D league. No expectations, low risk, good upside. Can’t be mad about that

Knicks picked up D-Leaguer Steve Novak (and his threes won their last game)
Steve Novak and Jeremy Lin. Shaking my head.
Nevertheless, there’s a certain happiness in finding a role player on the cheap who can come in and help the team.
I’ve lobbied here to bring over Josh Boone and Marcus Williams from China (both at vet minimum), as many of you know.
Texas slang in a Big Apple minute, by a friendly OED consultant. http://www.barrypopik.com
Novak isn't exactly a d-leaguer
He was with the Spurs for a long time last season and played very well. He’s a great three point shooter and if you put him in a system that has him shoot threes, he’ll do well. Problem with the Nets is, there is no system
Try under 6'5" w/o their shoes.
