Marshon Brooks has Nets, coach Avery Johnson excited after NBA Draft selection 重點： (1) 小將軍認為馬香可以加入輪替陣容，補上我們二三號不足的活動力 (2) 夢蘿會是馬香競爭上場時間的主要對手 (3) Bojan Bogdanovic是老闆砸錢買來的新秀，不過預估至少會先放洋一個賽季 As far as draft days go, the Nets seemed to get a lot done Thursday, and general manager Billy King and coach Avery Johnson left the team’s offices feeling relatively good about what they’d accomplished. “Coming into the draft, we had to get some guys,” Johnson said late Thursday night, after the Nets completed a trade with Boston to move up two spots in the first round and get Providence College shooting guard Marshon Brooks. “We weren’t very athletic at the (shooting guard) position. We needed to get some guys who could run and jump, and shoot, and score and play defense. And we think he can do that.” Brooks, a 6-6 senior, was the second-leading scorer in the nation, averaging 24.6 points for a young Providence team, plus seven rebounds. He scored 52 points in one game against Notre Dame and 43 in a game against Georgetown. The Nets traded their pick, No. 27 overall, and a second-rounder in 2014 to the Celtics for the No. 25 pick, which they used to select Brooks. Boston took Purdue power forward JaJuan Johnson with the 27th pick. Avery Johnson said he hopes Brooks can break into the Nets’ playing rotation next season, and he said Brooks and Anthony Morrow “are going to be very competitive at the two-guard spot.” King has said all along that he expects the Nets to be a player in free agency market and attempt to fill some of their immediate needs through that route, but the GM said Brooks will “have an opportunity” to compete for playing time as a rookie. Jordan Williams, the Nets’ second-round pick out of Maryland, would also figure to have a chance to earn some playing time this season, given Brook Lopez’s rebounding struggles last season and the fact that the Nets currently have no other power forwards on their roster. The 6-10 Williams, 20, averaged 11.8 rebounds — third-most in the country — as a sophomore at Maryland last season. He also scored 16.9 points per game. In between getting Brooks at No. 25 overall and Williams at No. 36, King also swung a trade to land the rights to 6-8 Croatian swingman Bojan Bogdanovic with the first pick of the second round (No. 31 overall). The Nets paid an undisclosed amount of cash to Minnesota to acquire the rights to Bogdanovic, who was actually selected by Miami, which then traded the pick to Minnesota. The trade has still not been made official, but King confirmed Thursday night that the Nets had Bogdanovic in for a second workout Thursday morning. Bogdanovic, who was born in Bosnia, but is Croatian, is expected to join Brooks and Williams when the Nets’ draft picks are introduced to reporters Monday. He is not expected to play for the Nets this season, as he recently signed a three-year contract with Turkish club Fenerbahce. The Nets believe Bogdanovic will play in Turkey for one year and then perhaps come over to the NBA in time for the 2012-13 season. http://www.nj.com/nets/index.ssf/2011/06/marshon_brooks_has_nets_coach.html -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.39.17.252
