The Brooklyn Nets need help. Plenty of help. Healthy bodies. And plenty of them. And while SB Nation could have graced us with a “team sites beat writer” draft - let’s goooo, Pooch! - instead we were asked to draft Disney characters.
So, draft a Disney character I did.
Who did I pick?
Well, some background, first on the state of the Nets:
That makes it seven players who will sit out on the #Nets:

- Kevin Durant
- Kyrie Irving
- Spencer Dinwiddie
- DeAndre Jordan
- Wilson Chandler
- Nicolas Claxton
- Taurean Prince https://t.co/IxzPEl8Vsq
Yeah, the Nets need help. Lots of help. Especially when it comes to bigs.
Soooo, I went and drafted the Nets the biggest Disney character I could: Moana.
The biggest, you say? Yeah, the biggest.
According to Google, Moana measures at 7-feet, 6-inches tall. Say it again. 7-feet, 6-inches tall. And, with speed.
Let’s gooooooooo!!!! Matt Brooks, let’s get a film study going.
I literally have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to Disney-ing the Nets, but I think I did it. I think made the Nets better.
I mean, if we can’t have Pooch play, let’s opt for the best big in history of Disney.
