30 Teams, 30 Days: New Jersey Draft Preview (17th)
Andrew Perna - 18th June, 2007 - 6:56 pm

2006-2007 Finish: 41-41
Draft Pick: 17th Overall

What they do well

They are one of the league’s most talented teams with Jason Kidd at the
point, Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson on the wing, and Nenad Krstic in
the paint. Kidd helps the Nets share the ball well, and Krstic has allowed
them to add an inside-outside game that they lacked in the early part of the
decade. It’s not likely that they’ll suit up both Jefferson and Carter this
fall, but while their potential might differ, to me they are one in the same.

因為有 Kidd, VC, RJ, 與 Krstic 在陣中，所以籃網是一隻很有天份的隊伍。
(Collins, Who?)

Where do they need improvement?

As I said above, before Krstic they lacked a strong interior threat. The
importance of Nenad’s game was made obvious when New Jersey lost him for the
season last year. In order to become a strong contender for the Eastern
Conference crown in 2008 they will need to get bigger and add someone to play
tough alongside Krstic.

只有 Krstic 能打對方禁區，需要有一個人來幫忙 Krstic。

Dealing either Carter or Jefferson this summer, at this point it seems as
though it’ll be Jefferson (if either), would leave a slight void at either
the two or three for the Nets. Eddie House is the free agent, which leaves
them with Hassan Adams, Antoine Wright, and Bostjan Nachbar off the bench.
Rod Thorn might be content with a Wright and Nachbar platoon, but I don’t
know if I would be satisfied.

總之就是要拿 VC 或 RJ 去換人，此外板凳的陣容可能會有變化。

Who they should target?

I don’t think there is any doubt that the Nets will target a big man when
David Stern comes calling in the second half of the first round. Most
credible mock drafts have New Jersey selecting a post presence, and
rightfully so.

反正用第17順位選一個大個就對了！

- Josh McRoberts, Duke

A lot of people think he’s making a mistake by not returning to Duke, but at
least he’ll land on a winning team rather than struggle through something he
’s probably never done – lose. He can add some interior offense to New
Jersey, spelling Krstic and taking pressure off the backcourt.

McRoberts 可以在進攻端幫助 Krstic，讓前場更具攻擊性。

- Jason Smith, Colorado State

DraftExpress.com compares him to New Jersey native Troy Murphy, which may not
be exactly what the Nets are looking for, but close enough. Smith would be
able to take double teams off guys like Carter and Krstic, while being able
to knock down a deep jumper when left open.

Smith 也許不是籃網最想要的，但遠距離跳投的功力可以破解 double temas。

- Tiago Splitter, Brazil

If the Nets are determined to get a big man, and I think they should be, they
have a multitude of options. If either Smith or McRoberts are gone –
Spiltter should be there man. If you remember the last time they took a
gamble on a big international player they got Krstic.

如果選不到 McRoberts 或 Smith，應該就會是 Splitter。

Picks over the past five years

The Nets have a history of dipping into the international pool for talent.
When you look at the players they have drafted in each of the last seven
drafts, six of the fifteen were from overseas. Whether or not Splitter will
become the seventh player of the decade remains to be seen.
