<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (NetsDaily)</div><div class='quotemain'>Rod Thorn knows he’s dependent on the actions of nine of his colleagues. The draft is that fluid, the talent that bunched. But as Tuesday wore on, one name not previously heard, Indiana sharpshooter Eric Gordon, began to emerge on mock drafts and in conversations. Meanwhile, the Nets reportedly turned down a deal sending #10 to Portland for #13, #33 and Jarrett Jack or Steve Blake.</div> Thorn will wait, see who's left - Dave D'Alessandro - Star-Ledger 2008 NBA Draft: Centers - Dave D'Alessandro - Star-Ledger 10-sion mounting for Nets - Fred Kerber - New York Post Rod Thorn says Nets' pick in draft is to hang onto theirs - Julian Garcia - New York Daily News Walsh Ready for Backlash From Draft - Howard Beck - New York Times Nets happy with draft position - Al Iannazzone - The Record Podcast: NBA Draft preview (mp3) - Al Iannazzone - The Record Al Iannazzone' NBA Mock Draft - Al Iannazzone - The Record How the First Round May Go in the NBA Draft - John Hollinger - New York Sun Presidential Address (video) - - New Jersey Nets Nets must fill holes on both sides - Al Iannazzone - YES Network Mock Me One Day More - Al Iannazzone - In the 'Zzone This draft has got me more excited for the Nets than any draft since we had a chance to pick up Warrick. I can't wait to see who gets picked before us, and who drops to us. Crossing my fingers it's one of Westbrook, Bayless, Gallinari...and not Lopez.
Yuck. This guy is mentally weak, no real position, cant dribble, dont we have enough turnovers? If its not SG, Bayless, or Lopez do the Blazer deal
omg i would not be sad about gordon... he will be an instant contributor.... id love for eric gordon to fall to us! now if its brook that falls... freakin trade the pick... to portland... i dont care

He'll be healthy next year and Frank is an IU guy so you know he'd love to have Gordon. Harris and Carter are going to be the ball handlers, so you don't need to worry about his ball handling/turnovers. He's a great outside shooter so it would make losing a guy like Boki a lot easier (should it happen). He'd be instant offense for a team that would often go through dry spells on the offensive side.
