Reading Zach Lowe's piece on the NBA extensions got me to thinking more and more that Carlos Boozer is a probable target for this team sometime in the future. Lowe writes on the Taj Gibson deal: ...
Allow me to remind everyone of a little something:
The biggest reason why Brook Lopez is called a bad defender is probably largely due to his pick and roll defense. Scouring around the internets, let's look at what minds far greater than mine have...
The Nets have one problem keeping them from being a true contender: interior defense. More specifically, the pick & roll, help rotations, close out on shooters type of interior D; not the post up,...
Here are the players that I think the Nets should target to get in this coming draft: In terms of need, I would put the needs for the Nets at - a big man, then SG, then the BPA in PGs or SFs with a...

I've seen a lot of proposals so far with a mindset that either expects too much or expects too little.
Looking forward, Cousins remains one of the most enigmatic prospects in basketball even now that he's in the NBA. On one hand, he has extremely strong physical attributes and is capable of being one of the most uniquely dominant centers in the NBA, something that does show up every few games. On the other, he's basically done everything every doubter from the draft process expected him to do, and he has been one of the most inefficient, turnover prone players on one of the worst teams in the league.

Sullinger may not carry himself like a star, but there’s no denying that he is one. NBA scouts who attend Ohio State’s games dote on his athleticism, strength and versatility. "He’s not a one-dimensional guy," one scout said. "He can score better than you think he can from the outside, he rebounds with high energy on both ends, and he’s a lot bouncier and nimble than his body type may suggest." A different scout said that, along with Sullinger’s size, his biggest strength is his "basketball IQ." He recognizes when to set screens, he has a feel for where his teammates are going to be on the court and he understands different offensive and defensive schemes.
