| 2005 Draft Picks - New Jersey Nets |
| RD | PK(OVR) | NAME | POS | SCHOOL/COUNTRY |
| 1 | 15(15) | Antoine Wright | SG | Texas A&M |
This is a nice pick for the Nets. They've been debating for weeks whether to add a four or a shooter. Most had Wright ranked as a top-11 pick, so they had to grab him here. Wright is a versatile shooter with NBA 3-point range. He's not a great athlete, but he'll be OK. Look for the Nets to address their size issues with trades or via free agency.

| 2 | 13(43) | Mile Ilic | C | Yugoslavia |
After scoring a big hit with Nenad Krstic a few years ago, the Nets go international again. Ilic is a true center who has really come on of late in Serbia. He's very skilled, but he will need to bulk up to play center in the pros. It may be another year or two before he joins the Nets full-time.
