League Search Page > NBA > Brooklyn Nets > Roster & Statistics
The 2011–12 Brooklyn Nets—then playing as the New Jersey Nets—were led by Deron Williams, whose scoring and playmaking drove the offense throughout the shortened season. Brook Lopez contributed efficient interior scoring in limited appearances, while Kris Humphries anchored the frontcourt with strong rebounding. The Nets relied heavily on Williams to create offense, showing capable frontcourt production but lacking the overall scoring depth and defensive consistency needed for sustained success.

HeatingUp Impact Index: Team Impact Spotlight
| PLAYER NAME | ROLE TIER | MPG | USAGE TIER | PPG | RPG | APG | STK (SPG + BPG) | IMPACT INDEX | NOTES | AWARDS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deron Williams | Starter/Star | 36.3 | High | 21.0 | 3.3 | 8.7 | 1.6 | 91.34 | Everything in New Jersey’s offense revolved around Williams. He carried a massive creation burden, averaging 21.0 points and 8.7 assists while generating quality looks despite a roster that lacked consistent secondary scoring for much of the season. | NBA All-Star (2012) |
| Gerald Wallace | Starter/Star | 35.8 | High | 15.2 | 6.8 | 3.1 | 2.1 | 71.81 | Acquired late in the season, Wallace immediately became the club’s defensive tone-setter. His slashing, rebounding and multi-position defense brought needed energy during the franchise’s transition toward a more competitive core. | NBA All-Star (2010) |
| Kris Humphries | Starter/Star | 34.9 | Medium | 13.8 | 11.0 | 1.5 | 2.0 | 68.61 | A relentless workhorse around the basket, Humphries followed up his breakout year by averaging another double-double. His offensive rebounding and physical interior play were among the few constants on a rebuilding team. | NBA Rebounding Leader (2011, total rebounds) |
| Brook Lopez | Starter/Star | 27.2 | High | 19.2 | 3.6 | 1.2 | 1.0 | 65.74 | Before injuries cut his season short, Lopez remained the club’s primary interior scorer. His touch in the post and ability to draw fouls were still evident whenever he was available. | — |
