NBA News: Sources Say New Jersey Nets To Take Derrick Favors

News

We now know the top 3 selections in the upcoming NBA draft, let’s see how far down we can get before the actual draft Thursday night.

The Nets are reportedly going to take Favors, a power forward out of Georgia Tech, because they aren’t guaranteed to land a power forward in Free Agency and because they think he’s the most tradeable player for the spot.

Favors was overshadowed by John Wall and Kentucky last season in college hoops, but was a standout player for GT.

John Wall is expected to go first overall by every breathing person who pays any attention to basketball, Evan Turner announced yesterday that he expects to be taken by the 76ers, Favors is reportedly going to the Nets. The 4th pick is up for debate as the T-wolves hold the pick, but might trade it to Memphis. The pick would probably be Wesley Johnson either way.
