faba Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 June 22, 2005, 12:56 PM ET First round is crowdedBy Chad Ford ESPN Insider Archive The deadline for withdrawing from the NBA draft passed on Tuesday with way too many underclassmen still making themselves available. First-round hopefuls Martynas Andriuskevicius, Andrew Bynum, Yaroslav Korolev, Ike Diogu, Jarrett Jack, Randolph Morris, Roko Ukic, Ersan Ilyasova, Johan Petro, Mile Ilic, Linas Kleiza, Matt Walsh, C. J. Miles and Louis Williams all decided to roll the dice on the first round. The good news is that the second round of this year's draft might be the strongest in the history of the draft. The bad news is that a number of those first-round hopefuls are going to be the players that make the second round so great. There just isn't enough room in the first round for all of them. Then factor in a new collective bargaining agreement that creates the NBA's first true minor league. In my breakdown Tuesday night of the new CBA, I wrote that the NBDL and age minimum could seriously alter this year's draft strategy for a number of teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted June 22, 2005 Share Posted June 22, 2005 I would be ECSTATIC if the Nets drafted Hakim Warrick. Obviously, Sean May might be the better choice, but either way, the Nets need a defensive force/rebounder in the worst way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
