Nets Select Brook Lopez at #10

They passed up on Bayless. Thoughts?

 

i already did this one

 

Disappointed as hell.

Hopefully we get CDR with 21.

we are getting robin lopez

 

Great Pick. He will work extremely well with Boone(who's a better version of Robin) as well as Sean and Yi. The guy seems like a really solid character addition and an absolute steal at the 10th pick. Guys like him are a premium in the NBA...it's good to be a Nets fan today.

 

He was on WFAN the other day here is the interview

I'm also fine with this pick.

I love that guy, but is he really a good enough shooter?

The Nets need a real shooter.

 

He was suppost to be a top 5 pick. He is a big guy and we can use him. We can trade away boone and our other garbage C. LOPEZ WILL BE A BEAST!!

 

Great pick.

 

I'm very happy with the pick.

 

Not my favorite player, but he's 19. He can change.

The Nets definitely need a real center. I hope he turns out to be a big upgrade.

Are you serious or being sarcastic again, your a tough one to read.

 

I wasn't too high on Lopez a couple days ago but I've read up on him and watch some videos and I was impressed.

 

Not to sound too much like NI, but you could have worse days than getting two legit 7-footers with skills - neither over 20 years old.

I'm tired of staying positive. The Nets passed on a star for another Josh Boone.

 

Hm. Does the deal with the Grizz still have life?

His games drove me crazy, but he did improve his crappy attitude this year.

Um, no....The picks are nothing alike. One was the best rated center in the draft, and one was a project. I like Boone don't get me wrong, but he didn't even have close to the skill set of Lopez. And yes, i did want Bayless....bad....But whatever this is our choice and it's not a bad one in anyway.

 

Brook Lopez is only 19 and 7-foot. That ain't bad whatsoever.

Thing is, we passed up Bayless, and that stings.
