Welcome back to Brooklyn’s Next Nets, a little mini-series celebrating the arrival of the second half of the 2024-25 season. (I do hate calling it the “second half” of the season, given that the post-All-Star stretch consists of just 28 games this year, but it rolls off the tongue.)
We’re analyzing Sean Marks’ stated preseason goal of finding the “next Nets” by evaluating some of Brooklyn’s lesser heralded young-ish players. Has the front office and coaching staffs uncovered any hidden gems in the vein of, say, Joe Harris or Spencer Dinwiddie?
That remains to be seen, but Brooklyn is happy with at least one of their bargain bin finds in 2025.
