This is likely all just due diligence but the Nets apparently had some additional big men working out at their practice facility yesterday, Baylor’s Ekpe Udoh and Georgetown’s Greg Monroe, both of which are projected top 10 picks though certainly not a top three.
Rod Thorn is certainly not afraid to trade down if he’s not 100 percent happy with what he wants on draft day. He most successfully pulled this off in 2001 when he swapped the talented by tragically troubled Eddie Griffin for three picks, which included Richard Jefferson and Jason Collins.
