🏀 Projected top-10 pick Darius Acuff Jr. joins Draymond Green to talk about matching up against Kyrie Irving, Steph Curry, and more next season as he looks ahead to the #NBADraft and beyond!
@NetsDaily Take Acuff or Brown at 6 and be aggressive to move up to take Ament.
His skillet is more suited for the NBA, his ball handling will allow him to develop counter moves to make up for his lack of burst. He'll be a good NBA defender. He's underrated
Longer term MPJ replacement
The Nets should be one of the more aggressive teams in the marketplace this summer.
Brooklyn does not control their own first-round pick in 2027 (Houston owns swap rights), which is important to note. As a cap space team, the Nets have a pathway to be competitive next season.

It's too early to say the Nets lost the Bridges trade, the most valuable assets the Nets got were 29' and 31' picks which they can still get a better player than Bridges via trade or through draft.
Knicks won their side of the trade, the only team that lost was the Timberwovles
Don’t let nobody try to bully you because you’re a Nets fan. The Knicks were ass for an eternity and ya’ll stuck by them and hung your hat on integrity. It shows you how biased people are. And I don’t care if the Knicks win 10 championships. It’s still “Nets Life 2 the Next life”
aments spacing was sooo bad lol wth were they doing with 2 non shooters on the floor that much: Nate ament is gonna be a steal for us lol crazy I just listened to the haters then my own research. Hes got star potential
Tarris Reed Jr. was the most dominant player in March Madness, recently dropping 31 & 27. Likely a second round pick...
- Two-way impact (11.6 BPM)
- 6'10" + 7'4" standing reach
- Underrated passer
- Rebounding force
- Elite rim defender
Who needs him?
I stopped talking about Acuff cuz I have no faith Marks does it but this Nets franchise really needs Acuff and the spark he’d provide to it
I’d rather try and build around an almost sure star level offensive talent whose playmaking makes everyone better than archetype draft a guy who may just stink
Jalen Brunson taking 30 shots a game just to average 25 ppg. Not even playmaking good, average to negative defender. Not even the best player in the finals it’s been Kat. Up 2-0 because of amazing roster construction. He’s shooting 30% FG and getting away with it cause teams good
@NetsCifer There are reasons to like Ament if Brown isn't there at 6.
Just be smart about it by trading down 1 or 2 picks and getting extra assets to move back up. You can talk me into being excited about Ament and Cenac
@JeriTsaiNets Brown is clearly the best prospect if available
Acuff, Ament and Wagler all have questions, Acuff is more of a sure thing but do you want to build around a small guard? Wagler is just as much of a gamble to become a star as Ament
There's a conversation on who's upside to bet on
