Knicks/Nets News
- The Knicks will be working out the following players today:
Gary Ervin (senior G, 6-0, 182, Arkansas)
Dante Milligan (senior F, 6-9, 215, Massachusetts)
DeAndre Jordan (freshman C, 7-0, 260, Texas A&M)
Mike Taylor (junior G, 6-2, 165, Iowa State/NBA D-League)
Vladimir Golubovic (C, 7-0, 225, Serbia)
- Jordan should be available at #6 overall but has been projected more in the early teens which further strengthens the rumor of Donnie Walsh's desire to trade down. Other than Jordan, I haven't heard much about any of these players indicating they could be looked at as undrafted free agents.
- Draftexpress.com is also reporting the Knicks desire to move the 6th overall pick but states that they may move up or down in the draft.
- Marc Berman of the New York Post says that the Knicks are looking to come out of this draft with the point guard of the future. Whether it be through trade or the draft remains to be seen.
- Will the Nets select Robin Lopez of Stanford, Brooke Lopez's twin brother at #10 overall? Robin, who is projected to be drafted after his brother in the late teens, worked out for the Nets recently and following the workout canceled all other workouts. This may indicate the Nets have zeroed in on the big man from Stanford.
