What is your opinion of Cam Boozer as a Nets draft target? Are you concerned about how his skill set will translate to the NBA?
You know, I think the one player that's grossly underrated and undoubtedly should be a top 5 lottery selection: Yaxel Lendeborg. He's got point forward potential. He can pass, he's got a tight handle, he can rebound with the best of them and….drumroll: he can play Defense (unlike Peterson, Dybantsa or Boozer). In fact, of the top 4 that are known for their defense only Caleb Wilson fits the bill and he's not there yet offensively. Wouldn't be mad with a Yaxel selection.
Cam Boozer is the safest pick. I'm not sure that's what we need
Cam would fit perfectly with the Nets. A pity that the chances of getting him are slim to none. The nets need a franchise player to build around. They have no one on the roster that can become top 10 player.They need to get that first star which is very difficult. Funny enough getting a second star is easier as they have dozens of draft picks to trade.
Slater-The guy I want more info on is Keaton Wagler. Are we doing it again? Are we all making the same mistake we all made with Kon? The mistake of overvaluing athleticism.
I challenge any Cam fan 2 watch the end of the Uconn game and call Cam dominant. 0:43
Facts? 😂😅😂 did he dominate Uconn? Lmaoooo
Well cam will be playing against dudes older than 18, stronger than an ox also but faster higher leaping more athletic and taller in the nba 5:27 smh
Cam is a light-skinned Derik queen lmaooo
We need an IMMEDIATE star! We are sick of projects and waiting!!
If we have a front court that features Day and Boozer we're going to suck up every rebound and get a million putbacks.
Get Boozer in a nets uniform. Let him start at 4 put Clowney at the 5. Trade Claxton. Nolan, Demin, MPJ, Boozer, Clowney
If you don’t believe in Boozer you don’t like Banchero. They are the same. Cam will get bigger
When they say that hes 6'7" at combine what will everyone say?
Boozer got potential but I think in today NBA is different. What position he is going to play the most? The three, four or the five!! In today NBA, he got to play the four because of the up tempo and pace. He really can't guard the 3 or the 5. I think he need to go establish team for him to thrive in.
The Jazz or the Pacers are better fit for him
Yes, Cam's game will not work in the NBA. Who is the current NBA Cam comp? There is no one. U Conn with a smallish front line still blocked 6 of Cam's shoots. He has limited upside because his lift simply is not there. If the Nets get the third pick, the safe pick is North Carolina's Wilson. Cam's upside is a third option on a good team.
He's really good he's NBA ready and I think he's the 3rd best player on this draft and if the Nets lose out on the 2 top prospects than I would love for them to draft Boozer or Wilson
Sean marks went 0/5 with 5 first rounders last year and fans still excited about him Being in charge for this upcoming draft
If the Nets fall past Top 4 I’m going to smash my keyboard
There’s just no excuse atp
We have a lot of skinny high iq guys, we could use a power high iq guy. I would want the highest ceiling guy, so Peterson or dybansta, but if they're gone I wouldn't be sad about getting Boozer AT ALL
Cam Boozer is really talented. But as a nets fan i feel weve been missing a exhilarating player and i feel like the team is better when we have very skilled hype players Julius Irving, Vince Carter so me personally i think Aj Dybansta or Caleb Wilson would be perfect for us. We havent really gotten that archetype of player and weve lacked in athletic super skilled players
Lets get Keaton Wagler
How many Cams will we need to go through?
"He'll keep getting stronger"
How my guy. He already has a near adult build. This isn't a kid like Egor, this is a guy who has been weight training for years. He's not going to become taller than 6'7! he can't jump or guard on the perimeter due to footspeed. What is the plan?
