Brooklyn Nets Player Grades, 2015-16 Regular Season

by The Brooklyn Game April 21, 2016 Comments

Thaddeus Young Per-Game Statistics: 15.1 PTS, 9.0 REB, 1.8 AST, 1.5 STL, 0.5 BLK, 1.9 TOV, .514 FG%, .233 3PT%, .644 FT%, .518 eFG%, .533 TS%, 17.5 PER In a league increasingly looking for big men who either hit three-pointers or dominate a foot above the rim, Young found his footing by doing neither. An undersize power forward, Young used his under-discussed strength to gobble up rebounds and power-dribble inside for layups, and a surprising touch inside to loft points over jumpy defenders. He's not a strong post defender, but he's smart and quick enough to fit in most any scheme the Nets will throw out next season. Young is hardly an All-Star and didn't put up big games, but he's one of the strong, consistent centerpieces of a team that lacks talent and quality players. Off the court, on a team full of immature prospects trying to learn the way of the league, Young was the grown family man, imparting thoughtful wisdom as often as he did slick floaters in the paint. He's the first Nets player to plant roots in Brooklyn, having moved his family into a waterfront condo. He's on a long-term deal that'll be very valuable as Young plays out his prime. -Devin Kharpertian

Keep, Trade, Walk: What should the Brooklyn Nets do?

by The Brooklyn Game February 11, 2016 Comments

This post is best viewed on a phone or tablet.

We've hit All-Star intermission in the 2015-16 season, and things look bleak for the Nets. A disappointing 109-90 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies dropped them to 14-40 in the standings, with no chance of making the playoffs, little to develop long-term.

With the season going downhill and the trade deadline rapidly approaching, The Brooklyn Game went around the horn with a game of Keep/Trade/Walk for each member of the roster: should the Nets keep the player, trade him (either at the deadline or in the offseason), or let him walk at the end of this season?

Scroll through to find out what we think for each player.

Answering the roster questions with the deadline looming.

Brooklyn Nets Players, Ranked From #38 To #1

by The Brooklyn Game October 28, 2015 Comments

20. Deron Williams (3 seasons, 210 games) If we did this solely on merit and statistics, Deron Williams would be much higher. He does, after all, lead all players in Brooklyn Nets history in win shares, assists, free throws, steals, and ranks second in points, three-pointers, games, and minutes played. But if we were to rank these players on how much they wanted to be in Brooklyn and lived up to expectations, he'd probably be last. Williams never seemed comfortable with the keys to the Nets franchise; we gave him a flat D+ for his final year's grade (largely on the strength of his final great game, a 35-point playoff performance against the Hawks), and near the end it was clear he and the Nets didn't want to be around each other anymore. So we split the difference. He goes just above C.J. Watson, only because C.J. Watson should've laid it in.

Ranking every player who has ever donned a Brooklyn Nets uniform in the team’s three years in the borough, from worst to first.
