    Well, that'd make it 4 rookies and 2 sophs...if he made the team. I wonder if he's as good as advertised. Or if he's as good as Ryan Anderson.

    I don't know much about Utah State, but they don't sound like a major college, who plays against good competition.

    We are going to f****** destroy all foes who face us this summer. I'd be really interested to see if this guy makes the roster, seeing as he was a guy who was looked at as a possible 2nd round pick.

    Ryan Anderson?!

    Jaycee Carroll is like 6', 160 pounds!!

    This guy is awesome. I've seen him play before. He's older than Nenad!

    If we must do player comparisons, think of Chris Quinn. I wish I could think of a guy who looks nothing like him, but those two guys really do have similar games.

    I'm wondering if he's a better shooter, actually.

    In an empty gym, yes. In a game, maybe not. He's close to a foot shorter.

    I thought Reggie Williams--who was also invited to the Nets summer league team--was the best shooter in the country.

    He shot 50% from behind the arc at Utah State. It doesn't matter how good the competition is for a shooter perimeter defense is essentially the same. If the kid can shoot, he can shoot. I don't care if he's a rookie or if he came from a small school. Good pickup imo I love getting younger there's less egos. Just look at what Portland did last year.

    It's good that we have some young hot handed prospects, but we still need someone who can score in the NBA. I think we should take another stab at Roger Mason this summer.

    As a Syracuse fan, I know for a fact that is definitely false.

    Players ALWAYS shoot better against the Syracuse zone.
