The New Jersey Nets Need One Good Bounce
The Nets have the worse record in the NBA, and the team with the second worse record, the Minnesota Timberwolves, have twice as many victories. The Nets offense is ranked last in the NBA, with an anemic 91.1 points per game. How bad does a team need to get, to be awarded the top pick?
It's no secret John Wall would be the Nets pick. The Nets need John Wall, not only for his incredible basketball skills, but to get fans excited about this team again. If the Nets draft John Wall, they could move Devin Harris to shooting guard, and have an incredible back court. With Wall, Harris, and Lopez, the Nets would have something solid to build on.
If the Nets don't gain the #1 pick, I imagine part owner, Jay-Z will pen a nice little rap song for the NBA, and it's lottery system, and I'm guessing it'll be for mature audiences only. While every team in the NBA would like a chance at John Wall, few teams desperately need him, and there isn't a team more desperate then New Jersey, not even the Knicks. With the planned move to Brooklyn, the Nets need a face of their franchise, and John Wall could be that.
When David Stern walks to the podium to announce the first pick in the 2010 NBA Draft, if it's not New Jersey's pick, all Nets fans will hear is, blah, blah, blah we got screwed.
