Rob Thorn has done a great job putting together a competitive Nets team to compete for a Championship. But lately, the Nets brass has done a lousy job at recruiting new talent, especially in the NBA draft.

Antonine Wright=Bust. Why would you draft someone who looks tenative and lost on the court. There were at least 10 other players who are way better than him. (David Lee, Milsap, Green). Wright should be in the D-league.
Mile Ilic - The Nets are desparately in need of a PF/C, why in the world draft someone who is 3 years away?
Josh Boone: has shown some flashes but lacks aggressiveness and passion. I think Thorn picked him because he looks like a nice guy.
Hussan Adams: I think he will be a great player and game changer. His energy and assertivenes is by far greater than A. Wright. But he won't do the Nets any good if's he constantly riding the pine. I think Coach Frank has personnal issues against the kid, for whatever reason. I think he deserves more playing time at least more time than Mr. Bust, Antoine Wright.
Marcus Williams: Great pick up for the Nets, and hopefully a future all-star.
Other recent picks: Brandon Armstrong, Tamar Slay, Dreger

Please Thorn and Co., get it together, I know you are better than that.
