Norris Cole Selected No. 27 Overall in 2011 NBA Mock Draft The New Jersey Nets will be in a position to take the most game ready player, or the player with most upside. I am banking on them taking a stab at a sturdy guard that doesn’t really have a blemish to his game. That’s right, Norris Cole is solid, he just isn’t great, in any respect. Cole is a player that hearkens back a decade, when pure point guards were the norm. MUST READ: 2011 NBA Mock Draft: Projecting All 1st and 2nd Round Picks He is a pass first shoot second gunner. He is very proficient at finding the open man, and will command any offense the Nets employ. The Nets may have the point guard position locked up, but they are far from stacked. Cole gives the Nets much needed depth. New Jersey can use a player that over achieves by employing his passion for the game. He even has a great outside shot. The more I think about it, the more dispensable Jordan Farmar seems. —Gabe Zaldivar For more 2011 NBA Draft coverage, stay tuned to Bleacher Report for updated NBA mock drafts, B/R's Big Board of Recruits, NBA Draft rumors, NBA Draft results and draft grades. 1.
