New Jersey Nets draft pick

The New Jersey Nets have the 11th pick in this year's draft.  Devin Harris had a break out year and is an all-star as is Vince Carter.  That gives them some firepower on the perimeter. But that's pretty much it.  They really need a shooting guard and better inside players. Ryan Anderson and Yi Jianlian and Douglas-Roberts are all young developing players that it's not real clear on how good they will get. Brook Lopez is another young player that looks to be solid but not spectacular.  So, the Nets could go numerous directions with the 11th pick.   It doesn't look promising.  In the past 14 years only 2 starters have come from the 11th pick and neither was an all-star.  And, 6 of the players did not contribute much to their teams.  If I were a Nets GM, I would trade away the 11th pick and maybe an iffy prospect for a 3rd or 4th year starter.
