27- Nets - Frank Jackson
Many view this as the Nets drafting for need over talent, but the Nets fell in love with Jackson after his workouts. This coupled with the fact that the Nets believe Ike Anigbogu could be an anchor for them for years to come, the nets did not want another big man prospect.
Sources say the Nets are really hoping that Jackson could one day supplant Lin, and fill a Cory Joseph type of offensive skill set.
