Brooklyn signed two top 20 players over the offseason with Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Durant won't be healthy until next season, and Irving spent most of the season injured as well. This left the Nets looking a lot like last season with Spencer Dinwiddie and Caris LeVert thriving in the backcourt. Brooklyn also brought in DeAndre Jordan despite the Nets already having Jarrett Allen. Allen has drawn more starts, but Jordan still cuts into his minutes at times. The Nets have always been loaded at wing, and they have names like Joe Harris and Wilson Chandler who are soaking up minutes. Taurean Prince has been in the most common starting lineup next to Garrett Temple, but this is a team that changes their starting lineup quite often. Brooklyn will have a much different starting lineup for the 2020-21 season.
The Brooklyn Nets starters are Joe Harris, Taurean Prince, Jarrett Allen, Spencer Dinwiddie, and Caris LeVert. The Nets have been dealt a handful of injuries which is why the starters might not look like you expect. Garrett Temple also has had 31 starts.
A once long time starter, DeAndre Jordan has been struggling a bit as he gets older. Jordan does not start for the Brooklyn Nets, as Jarrett Allen starts over him. Jordan has made just six starts during the 2019-20 season.
The most common starting lineup for the Brooklyn Nets in the 2019-20 season was Jarrett Allen, Spencer Dinwiddie, Joe Harris, Garrett Temple, and Taurean Prince. However, Temple was more of a fill-in piece when Caris LeVert was out.
Taurean Prince ranks 11th in player efficiency rating on the team, and that is dead last among the starters. Prince doesn't bring a ton to the table outside of some wing defense and a few three-pointers. Others lead the way in scoring.
When healthy, Kyrie Irving is the starting point guard for the Brooklyn Nets. However, he has battled some shoulder injuries. When Irving is out, Spencer Dinwiddie will draw the starts at point guard. He has seen 49 starts out of 64 games for the Nets this season.
Spencer Dinwiddie has made 49 starts during the 2019-20 season, which is the fourth most on the team. With Kyrie Irving injured, Dinwiddie has been asked to make more starts and has delivered averaging 20.6 points per game.
Spencer Dinwiddie is the leading scorer on the Nets starting five. He has averaged 20.6 points per game this season, and that is the most on the team. He is averaging the most shot attempts among the starting five as well.
