Denim is certainly a wildcard in the league after his rookie season, showcasing a seemingly reliable outside shot while putting together some solid all-around play. Averaging 10.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.3 assists last season, Denim could become a real difference-maker for Brooklyn <\/a>if he can build on his first year.<\/p>\n Perhaps the most exciting thing about next season for Brooklyn will be the debut of Demin\u2019s backcourt mate. Using the sixth pick in this year\u2019s draft to select Brown, the former Louisville guard could be a pillar of the Nets\u2019 future.<\/p>\n Playing alongside Demin, Brown will be looking to continue his stellar play from his time in college. In his lone year at Louisville, he averaged 18.2 points and 4.7 assists, making him a Rookie of the Year dark horse if he can keep up that production.<\/p>\n However, relying on two young guards to lead the starting backcourt could have mixed results, especially considering the Nets\u2019 situation. Brooklyn <\/a>will still be valuing development, but working through the rookie and sophomore mistakes of Demin and Brown could be costly to its postseason chances.<\/p>\n The Nets\u2019 situation at guard also won\u2019t change much when those two are off the floor, as Nolan Traore and Ben Saraf should be headlining the team\u2019s backcourt depth in their second seasons. The talent should be enough to make Brooklyn\u2019s backcourt more than viable, but its youth could be a real issue if things start spiraling at any point in the season.<\/p>\n The Nets should be incredibly excited about their backcourt moving forward, but it can\u2019t ignore the growing pains that will almost certainly come along with it.<\/p>\n
