    I don't like not knowing who to draft at #10.

    Let's just aim for Donte Greene. At this point, I don't care if he fits our team, I just want an SU player on the Nets.

    In all honesty I have yet to hear a convincing point (or any point at that) as to how Donte Green is significantly different than Anthony Randolph, except for having more range to his jumper.

    Not sure if I've said this already, but I'd rather have him than Arthur (although it'd be fun to have two DA's, two DARRELL's)

    I know nothing about Anthony Randolph, but I'm assuming he's better than Donte. The only thing I can think of to explain how it's possible for Donte to be better is that maybe he was just screwing around at SU because he knew it was a BS year of college anyway

    knowledge is overrated. just look at draftexpress, other random articles, stats if you want, read what other people say, and then make random-ass assumptions. That's how I always evaluate players.

Gallinari just doesn't fit. We already have VC whose defense comes and goes.</div>

    Brandon Rush is a lockdown perimeter defender with an NBA body who has one of the best shooting strokes in the whole draft.

    If he lasts until 21, the Nets would be foolish to pass him up.

    IMO, he's a much better fit than Arthur or Randolph.

    If the nets drafted Love or Westbrook and Rush that would be an immediate impact draft.
    </div>
    I like Rush but I don't think he's as amazing a shooter and lockdown defender as you say he is yet. IMO his game is identical to Shane Battie. Great role payer but not a superstar by any stretch. A good enough role player though to play for team USA.
    </div>


    If he's anywhere near as good as Shane Battier the Nets should take him at 10.

    You just made the exact comparison I was thinking of when I posted. Who the hell wouldn't want what Shane Battier gives you at #21??!!

    If the Nets draft Westbrook and Rush at least that would be an indication that they have some kind of cohesive plan and know what their priority is going forward. I would be very satisfied with that.

    Hm. I'd take Shane Battier with a #1 pick unless the draft is universally heralded as one of the best in at least a decade.

    Yes yes yes! I would love to see Brandon in a Nets uni. Lasting until 21 might be tricky but if he's there i'll be swearing at the tv pretty loudly if we pass him up.

    I agree. Nets would be idiots to not take Rush if he's there. Between Rush and CDR I give the edge to Rush. I think his game is more NBA ready.

    I honestly would not mind if we get Randolph/Jordan/Westbrook/Gallinari/Gordon/ @ 10th
    Take your pick.
