Cousins at #3?

Its funny to see that the Nets matched up a 5 vs. a 4 with the less athletic center winning the battle. I don’t know how Lopez and Cousins would work together and I don’t know how Love and Favors would work together assuming that Jefferson gets traded. Interesting that Minny said Favors was out of shape, was that a smokescreen hoping they could land him?

Off DX twitter:

Wesley Johnson is moving up to 3, New Jersey, on our next mock coming shortly. Told New Jersey will take him and go for a PF in free agency.

#3 Pick will be interesting, Nets seem to be split 3 different ways…

And if they dont take Favors, things could really shake-up in the draft

81% of his points came within 5 feet. He will not fit next to Brook Lopez, he will be a hinderence

I don’t think its a problem. Look at Gasol and Bynum, if you have two big time bigs, you force other teams to adjust to you and you create a size mis-match every nite. Cousins has to be your guy, we’ve seen too many Derrick Favors come along in the past, and not reach their vast potential. Nets need to win now, especially after that disastrous season.

cuzins does not have the skill like gasol gasol can also spread the floor with his mid range jumper and is comfertable out there
cuzins is not comfertable outside the paint niether is lopez for twin towrs to work u need one to be soft like pau and one tuff like bynum not to rugged guys

I don’t agree with your assessment there NYC. Why does one have to be soft? And if you’ve watch lopez play, he’s more than comfortable stepping out and shooting a jumper, ever since he was in college. And so is cousins, based on reports from the workout in NJ, he was comfortably hitting shots out to 20 ft. He didn’t show it at kentucky cuz Cal made him stay inside, where he was dominant so there was no point of him doing that. So if one of them are in the post, the other guy isn’t necessarily always going to be there clogging it up, and will make other bigs respect them by occasionally hitting a outside shot.

These day in the NBA you need a 4 man who is capable of chasing a player to the perimeter. There are too many perimeter oriented 4 men. Cousins is not gonna chase guys out there.

My gut is that Nets take Favors but they should take Monroe. Any respected coach/gm always says skills over athletics,
