Ranking All 30 NBA Franchises From 2000-01 to 2015-16 Using Advanced Analytics

26. Brooklyn Nets

Whether you prefer calling them the Brooklyn Nets or the New Jersey Nets, either way the Nets franchise has, for the most part, seen brighter days. In their four full seasons in Brooklyn, the team has failed to move beyond the first round of the playoffs and are coming off a 21-win season.

They're absent a superstar, but they weren't always. In the New Jersey days, the Nets had Jason Kidd, Richard Jefferson and Kenyon Martin, among others. The likes of these past superstars produced two Finals appearances in the early 2000s. Nonetheless, the Nets rank in the bottom five in all but defensive rating, including an average nERD of 43.17.
