2007 Draft for the Nets.

Well first off, I would like to say this is my firsts blog so bare with me.

I followed the Aches and Pains, the Ups and Downs, and the victories and losses of the New Jersey Nets since I was a child.

The Summer of 2007

Well firstly who are we gonna draft? Actually let me rephrase that, and say what are we gonna do with our 17th pick?

We need to trade up or down. Most people believe this is the way to go about the draft! The steals of the second round won't go so high up as 17, and the sleepers of this years draft won't fall to 17, unless it's Marcus Williams all over again.


So who are the guys that will see their stock fall this year, we all know who is going 1st and 2nd. But how about from 3rd to 16th.

Correy Brewer
Joakim Noah
Al Hortford
Julian Wright and Brandan Wright
Yi Jianlian.

These guys won't drop that far. I am tempted to add Conley Jr. to the mix just because of the havoc he is creating.

But the reality is, the rest is up for Grabs.

Be it from the USA. Spencer Hawes, Acie Law, Al Thornton, Jeff Green, Nick Young, Jason Smith etc...etc...

Then you have a slew of Internationals, starting with Tiago Splitter, Rudy Fernandez, the great Ante Tomic, Marco Belinelli etc...etc...

All these guys could be available. I would love to stress COULD be available.

So who do we draft? the best available? the long coveted PF? Do we trade up and take a chance on Noah, Brewer and co. or do we trade down? and by trade down I mean find a team like San Antonio, who has a late 1st round and an early 2nd round!

In high probability you will have 50% of the players still available when the Spurs pick! and this also means we get to give a shot at Sean Williams who many people think will break into the first round.
