Antoine Wright was not expected to fall to the 15th pick, but he did, and the Nets did not hesitate to take the 6'-7" shooter from Texas A & M, who most mock drafts expected to be taken higher. In the second round, the Nets selected 7'-1" Bosnian project Mile Ilic, who is likely to stay overseas for at least a year. Stefanski described the little known 20-year-old as "more athletic than Nenad (Krstic)."
