Even though Kyrie Irving only played in 20 games for the Brooklyn Nets before the NBA went on hiatus due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, the point guard put together quite a few impressive performances.
After scoring 50 points in his first game in a Brooklyn uniform, Irving went on to score 45 points on January 25, then 54 only six days later — and he also had four 30-point games on top of those. By the time he was ruled out for the remainder of the 2019-20 season — well before the hiatus — Irving had averaged 27.4 points, 6.4 assists and 5.2 rebounds per game.
Those numbers helped him earn a spot on Bleacher Report’s Top-100 NBA Players in 2019-20 list. Irving was ranked No. 19.
And he was not the lone member of the Brooklyn Nets to make the list.
Spencer Dinwiddie came in at No. 46. Jarrett Allen was No. 85 and Caris LeVert was No. 95.
Kevin Durant was not eligible to make the list. Only players who logged at least 500 minutes in 2019-20 were considered.
Joe Harris was among those who “Just Missed the Cut.”
