Where do the Nets go from here?
ESPN New York
by Mike Mazzeo
One would think that a team that's been as bad as the Nets the past few years would have no place to go but up. Think again.
The Hornets were the big winners in the NBA draft lottery, landing the No. 1 pick, which is expected to be Kentucky big man Anthony Davis.
The Nets, on the other hand, were the biggest losers. They only had a 25 percent chance of keeping their top-3 protected first rounder. The ping-pong balls didn’t bounce their way.
Many question marks still remain as the franchise heads to Brooklyn and the $1 billion Barclays Center.
So now what?
...The Nets have the No. 57 pick in the second round of the draft and four players guaranteed to be under contract for 2012-13: Anthony Morrow, MarShon Brooks, Jordan Williams and Johan Petro.
It looks like the makings of an expansion team, doesn’t it?
