Maybe the most surprising thing Ian Eagle said to Evan Roberts two days ago was his description of whose team the Nets are now.
"They're building their team around Brook Lopez and Thaddeus Young ... and Rondae Hollis Jefferson. To me, To me, that's what's happening," said Eagle.
RHJ as a cornerstone of the new Nets? Eagle didn't just say it once. He said it a couple of times and added that the Nets envision the 6'7" swingman with the 38" vertical, defensive prowess and, shall we say, challenged mechanics on his jumper, as a starter. Indeed, the Nets are VERY high on the 20-year-old who they traded for on Draft Night.
