Do pacers plz
Get some old school players that are forceful.
The Brooklyn nets need cam boozer if they get the number 1 pick
Darryn Peterson will be drafted by Brooklyn Nets (manifesting)
I’m Brooklyn nets fan if we get the number 6 pick I want Keaton Wagler
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…
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
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.
I like Wagler with Utah.
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
Hope hope hope we get a nice pick! Thanks for the analysis. I appreciate it!
AJ is who I’m taking
Need AJ or Peterson give us someone with superstar upside
