No. 27 Brooklyn Nets (From BOS)- Dwayne Bacon (Florida State, SO, Shooting Guard)

Like I stated in their previous picks, Brooklyn needs players and Dwayne Bacon has nice a value late in the first round. At this point in the draft, you take chances on talent. Drafting Bacon would be exactly that.

At 6-foot-7 and 220 pounds, he has good NBA size and has a versatile range of offense. In the right time, Bacon could find himself contributing to an NBA rotation. At this point, Brooklyn needs to find all the talented bodies that they can find. Bacon works.

After adding two first-round talents, the Nets can feel proud about their work in the NBA Draft. Not ideal, but they did with what they had.
