    What makes you think we don't have a chance at getting <=8th pick?

    we're making PO! [​IMG] if not, we still will be higher in standings than bulls or pacers. therefore 11-10th pick max.

    Gallinari should be very good, but Kiki's track record with international players isn't very good

    I just feel like breaking this down.

    Nene- Bust. (My opinion, at least.)
    Tskitishvili - Bust.
    Sani Becirovic - Who? (Did some research, 26 years old. Hasn't come over yet.)
    Axel Hervelle - Who are these guys? (24 years old Belgium PF. Hasn't come over yet, either.)
    Ricky Sanchez - Hasn't come to the NBA yet, traded to Philly.
    Linas Kleiza - DING DING DING! We finally have success!

    So...2 misses, 1 hit, and 3 undecided. Meanwhile, Thornski's got 1 hit, 3 misses.

    That's a combined 2 hits, 5 misses...and 3 that haven't come to the NBA yet.

    DE makes him seem like Batum who applies himself a bit more. There's really no top 10 pick I'm afraid of drafting, outside of Hibbert (and to some extent, Randolph)

    Just turn the sound off.

    This guy is a beast, the Nets could have a killer frontcourt rotation with Boone/Sean/Krstic/Gallinari for years to come.

    Tskitishvili - worst top five pick in last decade

    Nene - not a great pick, but injuries deprive us of making a real determination.

    Kleiza - excellent pick at 27.

    Hervell, Sanchez and Becirovic -- late second round picks who he took risks on -- cant measure a GM on his late second round picks. Becirovic was a risk...but a smart one. He had been compared to Petrovic before he blew out his knee.

    http://hoopshype.com/general_managers/kiki_vandeweghe.htm

    About the same as Stefanski. Krstic a terrific pick at #24, but Drejer at #51 and Ilic at #43 were pretty bad too. Only really good late second round foreign pick in the last decade was Ginobili.

    Pretty much looks like a Boki highlight reel. What I'm interested in seeing most is his shooting and defense.
