Draft Q&A With David Aldridge
Sup everyone. With the draft now only a day away, David Aldridge was kind enough to do a blogger Draft Q&A. I was forunate enough to have a couple of questions answered. Here they are:
- David, in my opinion the Nets are deciding to choose between Earl Clark and Terrence Williams. Who do you think has the highest potential ceiling? Who do you think would have the biggest impact their rookie year? (Nets Are Scorching)
DA: I think they’re going to take Terrence Williams. He’s a guy that fills a couple of needs for them. I think he’s an excellent defender, I think he will become a very very good offensive player for them. I think playing for Rick [Pitino], Rick does a pretty good job of developing guys, getting them ready to be pros. Not that Earl couldn’t become a very good pro, but I think right now Terrence’s consistently level is a little higher than Earl’s
- Do you think Vince Carter will be a Net at the start of the season? (Nets Are Scorching)
DA: Honestly I don’t know. I thought San Antonio was a destination, but that’s obviously changed today, so I don’t know at this point.
It was awesome having a NBA insider answering some of my questions. What is also interesting is that he thinks the Nets are higher on Williams. I wasn’t expecting that, but after hearing it, it does make sense. Williams could potentially become the 3rd PG, the 3rd SG, and the backup SF. He can get minutes at three different positions, which is awesome considering that it will help him develop more if he gets more minutes.
As for VC, it was interesting hearing that the Spurs were trying to get VC for expiring concerts. With that now out of the way, you would think there wouldn’t be too many other landing spots for Vince, but DA isn’t too sure. For Nets fans who still want VC on their team, they are going to be holding their breath this offseason.
For the whole Q&A, it is after the jump.
