Local media in Connecticut and Arizona reported on the Nets' draft Thursday, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of Marcus Williams, Josh Boone and Hassan Adams--and why Williams and Adams dropped so many places in the draft. Both have had minor criminal issues in the past year. Adams is still pending. Williams said that while he was happy, he would use the drop as motivator, particularly when he plays the 18 teams who passed on him.
