The Brooklyn Nets made a bold statement about the future of the franchise by trading away center Mason Plumlee in exchange for the 23rd overall pick, Arizona forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson and veteran point guard Steve Blake on draft night.
Nets general manager Billy King praised Hollis-Jefferson as the "best defensive player in the draft."
On Monday, the Nets officially announced his signing to a multi-year agreement, heralding the start of what both hope is a mutually beneficial relationship.
Though the team didn't release the figures — based on the rookie pay scale, Hollis-Jefferson's salary projects to be around $1.3 million next season.
In two summer-league games, the 6-7, 220-pound forward has shown a good mid-range jumper and feisty manners on defense.
While not an explosive offensive player, Hollis-Jefferson looks composed and patient and is averaging 8.5 points, 5 rebounds and 2 steals a game so far on 50% shooting.
Perhaps most importantly, he gives the Nets a touch of toughness, something Lionel Hollins values greatly.
The Nets showed their faith in Brook Lopez and Hollis-Jefferson by dealing Plumlee on draft night to Portland.
As part of the deal, Brooklyn also sent the rights to the 41st overall selection, Notre Dame's Pat Connaughton to the Trail Blazers.
In two seasons at Arizona, Hollis-Jefferson propelled the Wildcats to a pair of Elite Eight appearances and an overall record of 66-9.
A native of Chester, Pa., he earned Pac 12 All-Freshman Team honors. As a sophomore, he was named to the All-Pac 12 First Team and garnered Pac-12 All-Defensive Team honors.
He averaged 11.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, 1.5 assists, 1.1 steals and .8 blocks a game his sophomore season.
The Nets announced the signing of the team's other first-round pick, Syracuse's Chris McCullough, last week. The Bronx native was chosen 29th overall, though because of an ACL injury, it remains to be seen if he plays this season.

Defense Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer offered a personal apology today to a prominent Israeli journalist who was fired upon on Sunday by an Israeli soldier as the journalist entered a West Bank military zone with army permission.
''What happened happens every day in the occupied territories,'' said the journalist, Gideon Levy, who covers Palestinian areas for the leading newspaper Haaretz. ''The only difference was that this time it was an Israeli Jew and a journalist.''
The Israeli Army had cleared Mr. Levy to visit the occupied city of Tulkarm. But an officer who apparently had not been notified sent him to a military headquarters. A guard in a watchtower opened fire, sending several shots into the windshield of the taxi in which Mr. Levy was riding.
''When we got to within 100 meters of the office, there were gunshots, three of which hit the windshield and were thus clearly intended to kill,'' he said. No one was hurt.
The army said it had taken disciplinary action. The officer held responsible for the incident was given a 21-day suspended sentence, and the soldier who fired the shots given a 25-day restriction to base.

The barons of New York night life treat Fashion Week as if it were their battle royale: a golden moment to unveil their new bars, clubs and restaurants to the island’s captive population of thin-limbed party seekers.
But if the twice-yearly ritual feels familiar this season, it’s not only because of the usual air-kissing swarms of designers and dilettantes. Most of this fall’s prospective hot spots are old spaces with new names and rejiggered themes.

As the vortex of gay night life has migrated to Hell’s Kitchen, downtown veterans are looking for a sliver of the action. “We felt like there wasn’t anything that mirrored our aesthetic,” said Josh Wood, a party promoter who joined forces with other gay impresarios to open the Atlas Social Club. (Other partners include Benjamin Maisani of Eastern Bloc and Asi Mazar of Splash.) “It’s a little more sexy, a little bit more masculine, a little more rough.” Think red Chesterfield couches, wallpaper from 1920s bodybuilding magazines and a dim, D.J.-fueled lounge in the back. Opens Sept. 20, after a celebrity-strewn “friends and family” party during Fashion Week that is likely to attract Anderson Cooper, Andy Cohen and Alan Cumming.
When Serge Becker and his partners quietly opened Maison O, an izakaya-style restaurant in May, it became his third restaurant along the same teeming NoLIta corridor (La Esquina and Café Select are a blood clam’s toss away). Just as at its former occupant, Kenmare, the late-night action takes place downstairs, which is split between a 25-seat cocktail bar and the just-opened Stardust Lounge, a tiny karaoke club whose Tokyo kitsch will probably populate your Instagram feed this fall.
After conquering Midtown and Las Vegas, the juggernaut descends upon Chelsea. In a vast space under the Maritime Hotel that once housed Hiro Ballroom, the see-and-be-seen restaurant features giant Buddhas, a bar in the powder room and an entrance big enough for a chariot race with elephants. A less-democratic lounge will be overseen by Nur Khan, from the Electric Room next door. Opens early October.
Formerly the Double Seven (which made headlines for a donnybrook that involved Monégasque royalty and Greek shipping heirs), this meatpacking district lounge seeks to stay beneath the fold. “The goal was to take it out of the club zone,” said Kyle Hotchkiss Carone, one of the partners. “It’s so rare to find a place in this neighborhood to get a drink.” The toned-down bar has reclaimed paneling, weathered couches and a cocktail menu without bottle service. Opens Tuesday, with Fashion Week parties for Prabal Gurung, Public School and Theyskens’ Theory.
The meatpacking district is past its risqué days, but the Raven is trying anyway. The 2,400-square-foot subterranean lounge offers mirrors dusted with words cut from faux cocaine, a skull made with condom wrappers and a quilt stitched with an expletive. Red lighting, low ceilings and waitresses clad in black dresses made of rubber further suggest a sex den. “I’m trying to jell it together,” said Henry Stimler, the creative director, “I think the hipster kids like it.” Raven replaces the short-lived Gunbar, with parties for VFiles and Rodarte during Fashion Week.
Don’t mind the generic, cringe-inducing name. The VIP Room already has posh outposts in Paris, St.-Tropez and Dubai, and is now landing in the meatpacking district, in the former home of Kiss and Fly. The 5,000-square-foot box features a sunken dance floor and tables for profligate patrons to hemorrhage euros and Mexican pesos. Huge LCD screens wrap the space in color bursts. “It’s the ‘wow effect,’ ” said Shawn Kolodny, an owner. Opens Sept. 19.
“Mexican equals tequila,” said Eugene Remm, in explaining the concept behind La Cenita, the latest restaurant-as-club venture from the EMM Group. Formerly Abe & Arthur’s, the split-level space has been revamped with gluten-free tortillas, a ceviche bar and empanada s’mores. Boozy brunches remain, though the owners insist that the food comes first. “The scene, to us, is the icing on the cake,” said Mark Birnbaum, Mr. Remm’s business partner. Opens Sept. 20, with Fashion Week previews for Elie Tahari and modeling agencies.

When it opens for business next year, Commercial Bay will be Auckland's largest mixed use development. By the time the first phase of the project completes, there will be a 39,000sq m office tower and 18,000sq m of retail. It will change the face of the central city.
Yet developer Scott Pritchard says its impact will be wider than reviving the area where Queen St meets the waterfront.
Pritchard is the chief executive officer of Precinct Properties. He says: "Commercial Bay is a response in a New Zealand context to what we've seen in gateway cities around the world. Retail is changing. Major retail brands want to position their flagship stores in the city centre.
"For them, it is a challenge finding the right location. Auckland has never had such a concentration of top retailers in one location."
Pritchard says: "We were fortunate to secure the old Downtown shopping centre site. Then by amalgamating our other sites we've established a landholding that allows us to develop something that has that concentration. This is a major opportunity, not only for us as the owner, but for Aucklanders generally to have a retail centre that's as good as you'll find anywhere in the world."
It's unusual for a single developer to acquire this much land in an important central position in Auckland.
"We have investors that have exposure to all sorts of real estate companies. To have someone who owns a couple of city centre blocks that are right on the waterfront and on the main street is rare. To be able to knit a number of high rise buildings together along with a retail centre at the base and to provide car parking and seamless links to the rest of the city is also unique.
"We have been able to design this in concert with some major infrastructure, that's the City Rail Link which is under construction as well. Introducing accessibility and public transport to the centre has been a major bonus.
"We're expecting about 10 million people a year to make their way through Commercial Bay retail after it completes," he says.
Architect Blair Johnston leads the Warren and Mahoney team working on the development. He describes Commercial Bay as "tremendously ambitious".
He says: "It is a true mixed-use project. It brings together commercial, retail and transport in the first stage and will later include a new city centre hotel. We don't often see this intensity of land use.
Johnston views the retail component as being something not seen before anywhere else in New Zealand — and something that probably won't be.
"It is the antithesis of the suburban mall. In fact, we've banned people working on the project from using the word 'mall'.
There will be a seamless transition to the rest of the city, there's no wind lobby and you won't pass across a threshold to enter."
Over the years the project has snowballed. He says: "It's ended with us thinking about building part of the central city."
One of the keys to the project is how it integrates with the rest of the city. At the time of writing, the CRL tunnel is still visible below ground level.
One side of the development will face Britomart at the bottom of Queen St. Shoppers and office workers can emerge from the railway station, cross an open area and enter one of the laneways which thread through the ground level of Commercial Bay.
Pritchard says they will be inviting, and will reflect the lanes that were in the area before the recently removed building was constructed.
"They will be public spaces and the main laneway will be open 24 hours a day. Our challenge is to encourage the 10,000 or so office workers who will be based at the site during the day to return in the evening or weekends with their families and friends".
To help lure them, the top floor of the retail development will be restaurants and a food hall able to cater for 1000 people.
Pritchard says there will be stalls offering $5 meals of noodles or dumplings alongside offerings from local celebrity chefs and a branch of New York restaurant Saxon + Parole.
