The Latest

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

Brooklyn Nets Player Grades, 2015-16 Regular Season

April 21, 2016 By The Brooklyn Game 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.

Brooklyn Nets Players, Ranked From #38 To #1

October 28, 2015 By The Brooklyn Game Comments

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

1: Trading three first-rounders for Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, & Jason Terry.
Fresh off a first-round loss to a depleted Chicago Bulls roster, King made a trade that set the franchise back years, giving up three unprotected first-round picks and a pick swap for a half-season of Jason Terry, one season of Paul Pierce, and a season and a half of Kevin Garnett. The Nets won one playoff series with Pierce and Garnett on the roster, and as a result do not control the fate of their own draft pick until 2019.

Chris McCullough Per-Game Statistics:24 G, 4 GS, 15.1 MIN, 4.7 PTS, 2.8 REB, 0.4 AST, 1.2 STL, 0.5 BLK, 0.6 TOV, .404 FG%, .382 3PT%, .478 FT%, .463 eFG%, .470 TS%, 12.2 PER It’s hard to grade Chris McCullough after rehabbing a major injury, but he deserves some sort of extra credit for just making it on the court. There’s a long way to go for the Syracuse product, but you can see the traces of a draft steal. A smooth jumper that needs just a little bit of refinement to be consistent, the speed and activity on defense to defend the pick-and-roll and make the extra rotation, the height and vertical to protect the rim and put an opposing player on the wrong end of a poster. The traces of a modern power forward are there, it’s up to Mr. McCullough to do the work. -Ryan Carbain
