When the Nets gather for Media Day, there will be a lot of new faces. Fewer than half of the 17 players who finished last season are back. So what’s the big change? The Bigs.
Whole lot of bigs! In addition to un-retiring LaMarcus Aldridge, the Nets this offseason drafted Day’Ron Sharpe and RaiQuan Gray, re-signed Blake Griffin, signed James Johnson and Paul Millsap, traded for Sekou Doumbouya, and added Devontae Cacok on an Exhibit 10. They even traded for the draft rights of Nikola Milutinov, one of Europe’s top bigs! The biggest change, for sure.
And that list doesn’t include the team’s two tallest players, Nic Claxton and of course Kevin Durant.
