Brook Lopez was the tenth overall pick in the 2008 Draft, and he proved immediately to be an excellent choice for the New Jersey Nets.  The former Stanford Cardinal finished third in Rookie of the Year voting, and in his fifth year, he was an All-Star.  The Center was played nine seasons for the Nets where he was often the team’s main score,r and he would have four campaigns where he exceeded 20 Points per Gam,e and he would have an 18.6 PPG for the team.  He was also an excellent blocker who finished in the top ten in Blocks per Game four times with New Jersey/Brooklyn.  Sadly, Lopez was not surrounded with a lot of other great players and he was only in the playoffs twice with the team.

In terms of duration, Buck Williams is the top of the Nets food chain as he is the franchise leader in Games Played, Minutes Played and is also the leader in Rebounds and is second all-time in Points.  This isn’t a bad way to start discussing Buck Williams and his time with the New Jersey Nets.

Jason Kidd might be the man we named the best all-time Brooklyn Net but that does not necessarily mean we think he was the greatest player to ever suit up for the organization.

That man is Julius Erving.

When Jason Kidd was traded from the Phoenix Suns to the New Jersey Nets in a mega-trade he was already established as the best Point Guard in the NBA, a mantle he kept in his few seasons with his new team.  Kidd transformed the Nets into a contender as they went from missing the playoffs to going to the NBA Finals.  Kidd missed out on being the MVP (which he probably should have won) but he again was a First Team All-NBA and First Team All-Defensive Selection.  Nobody in the history of the franchise ever turned around the team like Jason Kidd did.
