  1. The nets clearly need a big point guard. Period.
    Demin is a shooting guard who can handle. Nolan is the guard off the bench, when he learns the NBA game…

  2. aj is the pick for the nets, hes got everything but a consistent 3 point shot. Brooklyn has been very good a developing young players 3 point shots. He could also play the 2 for the nets, lineup of Egor 6'9 AJ 6'9 MPJ 6'10 clowney 6'11 Clax 6'11

  3. I like Traoré as long-term point guard for the Nets. I’ve been high on him since Nike Hoop Summit in 2024. I like Peterson or Boozer for Brooklyn. Intrigued by Wilson. One of my favorite players coming out. Think AJ would benefit from more experienced PGs with Pacers or Wizards to start his career.

  4. The wilson-claxton fit is horrendous
    Its top 3 flemings wagler or bust
    I like acuff and steinbach but if that's the pick… Damn
