The Brooklyn Nets traded Indiana for their 20th pick in exchange for Thaddeus Young. The best bet here is Demetrius Jackson.

The Nets have a desperate need at the point guard position, and Notre Dame product has the ability to pick apart the opposing defense in the pick-and-roll while being a respectable shooter (he shot better than 41 percent form 3-point range in his freshman and sophomore seasons). He would immediately become an NBA starter for the Brooklyn Nets.
