player. 147. <p>Now that the Brooklyn Nets can finally make their first round pick after their original pick was dealt to the Hawks, they should think about replacing Brook Lopez. Everyone knows that they are trying to blow up this roster. Deron Williams is on the wrong side of 30 and has played his best basketball. Joe Johnson stopped producing like he was capable once his plane landed in Brooklyn, so it’s time to start rebuilding.</p>
<p>The first piece to the puzzle is Christian Wood out of UNLV. Initially he will have a huge defensive upside at 6’11” and the jumping ability of a gazelle. He will also be able to get out and transition and make fast break points happen. These are both things that will fit well with just about any team, so this is the first thing the Nets should focus on.</p>. PF. UNLV. Christian Wood. 29
