| PLAYER NAME | ROLE TIER | MPG | USAGE TIER | PPG | RPG | APG | STK (SPG + BPG) | IMPACT INDEX | NOTES | AWARDS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Devin Harris | Starter/Star (1.1) | 36.1 | High (1.2) | 21.3 | 3.3 | 6.9 | 1.9 | 87.6 | Explosive lead guard who turned into the engine of New Jersey’s offense, constantly attacking off the dribble and living at the foul line. His combination of 21.3 points and 6.9 assists made him one of the Eastern Conference’s most difficult covers in transition and pick-and-roll situations. | NBA All-Star (2009) |
| Vince Carter | Starter/Star (1.1) | 36.8 | High (1.2) | 20.8 | 5.1 | 4.7 | 1.5 | 84.7 | Go-to perimeter scorer who balanced shot creation with playmaking as the Nets’ veteran focal point. Carter still had plenty of burst, but this version of his game relied more on skill, outside shooting and reading defenses than pure athleticism. | NBA All-Star (2000-2007) |
| Brook Lopez | Starter/Star (1.1) | 30.5 | Medium (1.1) | 13.0 | 8.1 | 1.0 | 2.3 | 58.2 | Traditional low-post center whose polished footwork translated immediately as a rookie. Lopez gave New Jersey a dependable interior scoring option while also protecting the rim with 1.8 blocks per game. | NBA All-Rookie First Team (2009), 3rd in NBA Rookie of the Year Voting (2009), Rookie Challenge Participant (2009) |
| Keyon Dooling | Key Contributor (1.05) | 26.9 | Medium (1.1) | 9.7 | 2.0 | 3.5 | 1.0 | 37.3 | Change-of-pace combo guard who supplied instant offense and energy off the bench. His three-point shooting and ability to pressure opposing ball-handlers helped stabilize the second unit. | — |
| Yi Jianlian | Key Contributor (1.05) | 23.3 | Medium (1.1) | 8.6 | 5.3 | 1.0 | 1.1 | 36.7 | Face-up power forward who flashed intriguing offensive versatility, stretching defenses with mid-range shooting while still contributing as a weak-side shot blocker. Injuries interrupted stretches of what looked like a promising developmental season. | Rookie Challenge Participant (2008) |
| Ryan Anderson | Key Contributor (1.05) | 19.9 | Medium (1.1) | 7.4 | 4.7 | 0.8 | 1.0 | 32.0 | Stretch-four prospect whose outside shooting already hinted at the role he would later master. Even in a modest role, his floor spacing gave the Nets a different offensive look. | Rookie Challenge Participant (2009) |
| Jarvis Hayes | Key Contributor (1.05) | 24.8 | Low (1.0) | 8.7 | 3.6 | 0.7 | 0.8 | 28.1 | Spot-up wing who thrived playing off New Jersey’s primary creators. Hayes knocked down nearly 39% of his threes and quietly provided efficient complementary scoring. | — |
| Bobby Simmons | Key Contributor (1.05) | 24.4 | Low (1.0) | 7.8 | 3.9 | 1.3 | 0.8 | 29.0 | Veteran swingman who reinvented himself as a floor spacer, shooting 44.7% from deep. His offensive value largely came from keeping defenses honest away from the ball. | NBA Most Improved Player (2005) |
| Chris Douglas-Roberts | Bench (1.0) | 13.3 | Low (1.0) | 4.9 | 1.1 | 1.2 | 0.5 | 15.4 | Slashing rookie wing who looked comfortable attacking gaps and drawing contact. His offensive confidence often stood out more than his limited role suggested. | Rookie Challenge Participant (2010) |
| Josh Boone | Bench (1.0) | 16.0 | Low (1.0) | 4.2 | 4.2 | 0.5 | 1.2 | 20.2 | Interior reserve whose main job was defending the paint, rebounding and finishing around the rim. He remained one of the roster’s more efficient frontcourt finishers. | — |
| Trenton Hassell | Bench (1.0) | 20.6 | Low (1.0) | 3.7 | 2.8 | 1.0 | 0.7 | 16.4 | Defensive specialist who routinely handled difficult wing assignments. His offensive role was minimal, but coaches trusted him for positioning and perimeter defense. | NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2004) |
| Stromile Swift | Bench (1.0) | 10.7 | Low (1.0) | 3.8 | 2.2 | 0.2 | 0.3 | 13.0 | Athletic reserve big who appeared in only a handful of games. When on the floor, he relied on energy, finishing ability and activity near the basket. | — |
| Eduardo Nájera | Bench (1.0) | 11.8 | Low (1.0) | 2.9 | 2.5 | 0.7 | 0.5 | 13.2 | Physical veteran forward who brought toughness and hustle rather than scoring. His willingness to battle on the glass and defend larger players remained valuable. | — |
| Sean Williams | Bench (1.0) | 11.1 | Low (1.0) | 2.4 | 2.4 | 0.4 | 1.1 | 12.6 | Rim-protecting specialist whose length could still change possessions defensively. Most of his contributions came from shot blocking and interior disruption. | Rookie Challenge Participant (2008) |
| Maurice Ager | Bench (1.0) | 4.9 | Low (1.0) | 1.7 | 0.5 | 0.2 | 0.2 | 5.2 | End-of-bench guard who saw limited opportunities in a crowded rotation. His role was primarily developmental and situational. | — |
| TEAM TOTALS | — | 241.8 | — | 98.1 | 39.8 | 20.0 | 11.6 | — | New Jersey finished 34-48 behind a high-usage backcourt of Vince Carter and Devin Harris. Brook Lopez emerged as a foundational young center, while veterans and complementary shooters helped create one of the league’s more perimeter-oriented offenses. | — |
