Associated Press

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The New Jersey Nets have signed their two first-round draft picks.

Team president Rod Thorn announced the signings of Brook Lopez and Ryan Anderson today.

The Nets selected Lopez with their top pick at No. 10. He led Stanford in scoring at 19 points per game last season.

Anderson was selected with the 21st pick, which New Jersey received as part of the trade that sent Jason Kidd to Dallas.

Anderson led the Pac-10 in scoring last season with an average of 21 points per game.
