One more on this dilemma… I get it — Brooklyn fans are disappointed with a second consecutive crushing lottery fall. The hope was a homegrown superstar for the first time in forever. Unfortunately, the reality is that the Nets are very likely no longer selecting in a range where a potential superstar will be. Have to acknowledge that rather than desperately shooting for the highest upside piece like Darius Acuff Jr. that has a 1% chance of being Damian Lillard or Derrick Rose. You need a superstar to win. I believe we should all acknowledge that the Nets will have no choice but to look externally for that superstar down the road. That said, the Nets should aim to build up a core of versatile players that fits a variety of different potential superstar players, accumulating a bunch of winning versatile pieces that have value around the league. Drafting someone like Acuff, who is very polarizing and requires a very specific way of team building, could limit the Nets’ flexibility moving forward.









What would it take for the Nets to move up in the draft!? 👀 (via @JakeLFischer )



This is what I want to hear from Marks. Not “oh well, we have flexibility”
