The Brooklyn Nets are trying to build a championship offense with their rookie core, but they lack proven shooting. Can the Flatbush Five solve this equation? The Nets' rookie core consists of Egor Dëmin, Nolan Traoré, Danny Wolf, Drake Powell, and Ben Saraf. While they have shown promise in playmaking, they struggle with perimeter shooting. The Nets were 11th in the NBA in three-point attempts per game, but were dead last in three-point percentage. Dëmin was the only efficient outside shooter at 38.5% on 6.2 attempts per game. He only attempted 2.4 two-point field goals per game. Wolf and Traoré may become reliable three-point shooters one day, but probably not on high volume. They both shot worse than 33% from three on fewer than four attempts per game. Powell and Saraf were far better at scoring inside the arc than out. Powell shot 28% from deep but 53.6% on twos, while Saraf shot 21.1% from deep but 46.9% on twos. The encouraging aspect for Brooklyn is that its rookie class offers multiple avenues to offensive improvement. Dëmin, Traoré, and Saraf all possess playmaking ability, giving the Nets more developing creation. However, the success of that vision will likely depend on perimeter shooting. Opposing defenses may continue to pack the paint, exposing the same spacing issues that plagued Brooklyn throughout this season. The Nets' offense showed signs of promise with their combination of playmaking, but had a -9 plus/minus when the two shared the court. The team boasted a -10 plus/minus for the entire season, so there's little difference between other lineups. The Nets are nowhere near having the level of offense or defense that the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder had in the regular season. Both teams had top-seven offenses and top-three defenses. The Nets are trying to reach the playoffs with their current roster, but it will be a tough task. They need to improve their shooting and defense to become a contender.
