Whether in Brooklyn or New Jersey, the Nets franchise has had quite a few impressive point guards in the organization. Even now with the 2019-20 team, the Nets have two talented point guards in Spencer Dinwiddie and Kyrie Irving.
If he plays his cards right, Irving could go down as the best point guard in Nets history by the time his career comes to a close. But do he and Dinwiddie crack the franchise’s list of top 5 point guards right now? Nets Wire examined the point guards to wear a Brooklyn or New Jersey uniform through the years and selected the five best:
5. D’Angelo Russell
Nets Stats: 19 PPG | 6.3 APG | 1.1 SPG
D-Lo’s time here was brief, but there aren’t many players who can say they played a pivotal role in helping an organization change direction from one year to the next. And as much as Kyrie Irving is viewed as an upgrade in talent, the 2019 NBA All-Star’s departure from Brooklyn was not an easy pill for fans to swallow.
