Hasheem Thabeet realizes his offensive game needs work and understands it will be hard for him to dominate defensively the way he did in college.

In the closing minutes of his eighth and final workout prior to the NBA draft, Tyler Hansbrough stood along the baseline of the New Jersey Nets' practice court wearing a sweat saturated gray jersey, catching his breath before another shooting drill.

Jonny Flynn dragged himself into the New Jersey Nets' practice facility Tuesday, wheeling a suitcase behind him and looking like a weary traveler who desperately needed to get to his hotel for a nap.

The chief executive of the Nets has defended his team's decision to jettison architect Frank Gehry's design for a new arena in Brooklyn and replace it with a more conventional and less costly option. The team announced last week that the Barclays Center in Brooklyn will be based on a design by Ellerbe Becket.
Having appeared in a documentary and played himself on "The Simpsons," Houston Rockets star Yao Ming will voice a whole different character for an upcoming Chinese-language animated film. The 7-foot-6 center also will spend time on the court while back in China, leading a basketball camp next month for Asia's top young players.
The owner of the New Jersey Nets has replaced the architect of a pricey planned arena in Brooklyn. The arena is a centerpiece of the $4 billion Atlantic Yards development of office towers and apartments. The project has been delayed by the economic downturn, years of opposition lawsuits and the near $1 billion price of the Frank Gehry-designed arena.
Olympic teammates Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh and Carlos Boozer will reunite to take part in a Basketball without Borders camp in September in South Africa. The NBA and FIBA announced Thursday that China's Yao Ming will lead a camp in his home country. The other camp will be in Mexico City and include forward Eduardo Najera of the New Jersey Nets.
