Kyrie Irving Starter/Star 37.0 High 27.1 5.1 5.3 1.8 103.75 Dynamic lead guard who powered the offense with shot creation from every level.

Spencer Dinwiddie Starter/Star 35.3 Medium 16.5 4.1 9.1 1.4 75.44 Ball-dominant playmaker who stepped into a larger role following the roster overhaul. Dinwiddie’s pick-and-roll orchestration and passing vision helped keep the offense functional after the departure of the team’s stars.

Royce O’Neale Starter/Star 31.7 Medium 8.8 5.1 3.7 1.5 46.59 Versatile glue guy who routinely defended larger wings while spacing the floor offensively. O’Neale’s rebounding and connective passing made him a valuable piece in several different lineup combinations.  
Cam Thomas Key Contributor 16.6 Medium 10.6 1.7 1.4 0.5 32.80 Instant-offense scorer who could change a game in a hurry. Although his role fluctuated, Thomas repeatedly flashed the isolation scoring ability that would later become a much larger part of his game.  
Dorian Finney-Smith Key Contributor 27.7 Medium 7.2 4.9 1.6 1.3 34.65 Defensive specialist on the wing who supplied toughness and lineup flexibility after joining the Nets. His value came from guarding multiple positions and knocking down timely spot-up threes.

Joe Harris Key Contributor 20.6 Medium 7.6 2.2 1.4 0.7 27.03 Veteran sharpshooter who continued to space the floor at a high level. Harris hit 42.6% from three and remained an important off-ball weapon despite a reduced offensive role. NBA Three-Point Contest Champion (2019)
Day’Ron Sharpe Key Contributor 11.5 Medium 4.7 4.2 0.8 1.0 24.49 Energy big who carved out minutes through rebounding and physical play. Sharpe’s activity around the basket frequently generated second-chance opportunities for the second unit. NBA Rising Stars (2022 participant)
Yuta Watanabe Key Contributor 16.0 Medium 5.6 2.4 0.8 0.7 21.95 Spot-up specialist who became one of the league’s surprise shooting stories early in the season. Watanabe’s elite corner-three accuracy made him a natural fit next to star creators.  
Edmond Sumner Bench 13.9 Low 7.1 1.5 1.3 0.8 21.40 Attack-minded reserve guard who brought speed and rim pressure whenever he checked in. Sumner often thrived in transition and against unsettled defenses.  
Patty Mills Bench 14.2 Low 6.2 1.1 1.4 0.5 18.40 Veteran floor spacer whose role shifted throughout the season. Mills remained a respected locker-room presence and provided occasional scoring bursts from deep. NBA Champion (2014), FIBA Hall of Fame candidate

Dru Smith Bench 9.1 Low 3.3 1.5 1.7 0.7 14.40 Defensive-minded guard whose minutes came in short stretches. Smith’s ball pressure and willingness to move the ball fit Brooklyn’s team-oriented approach.  
Nerlens Noel Bench 14.3 Low 1.0 3.0 1.0 1.3 12.60 Defensive reserve center who appeared in only a handful of games. Even in limited action, Noel’s instincts as a shot blocker and help defender were evident.  
Kessler Edwards Bench 5.6 Low 1.1 1.0 0.1 0.3 5.00 Young wing whose opportunities were limited after Brooklyn reshaped its roster. Most of his work came as a defensive depth option.  
RaiQuan Gray Bench 35.0 Low 16.0 9.0 7.0 1.0 66.00 Point-forward style contributor who impressed in a one-game appearance, showing playmaking feel, rebounding and interior scoring. The sample was tiny, but his all-around production stood out. NBA Debut (2023)
Moses Brown Bench 3.0 Low 0.0 0.0 0.0 0.5 1.00 Emergency frontcourt depth who saw only brief action. His role was limited to spot minutes and injury insurance.  
Alondes Williams Bench 5.0 Low 0.0 1.0 0.0 0.0 2.00 Developmental guard who appeared in one game late in the season. His NBA opportunities were limited as Brooklyn prioritized veteran rotation players.  
TEAM TOTALS   240.6   113.4 40.5 25.5 13.3 944.64 Brooklyn’s season split into two chapters: Durant and Irving led a contender through the first half, then Bridges, Dinwiddie and Johnson helped keep the Nets competitive after the blockbuster deadline trades.
