Brooklyn Nets Positional Outlook: Point Guard

The Brooklyn Nets have overhauled the point guard position for the 2016-17 season. Here is a look at who is entrenched as the starter, and some options that Kenny Atkinson could turn to as backups.

The Brooklyn Nets have a new coach, which means they will run a new offense this year. As such, it’s not surprising that they have made drastic changes at the point guard position.

Sean Marks and company have completely overhauled the position. Former Brooklyn Nets point guard Jarrett Jack is now with the Atlanta Hawks, and Shane Larkin and Donald Sloan are off the roster as well.

Despite Jack being jettisoned, the Nets still have the luxury of having an unquestioned starter at the position. There won’t be any surprises pertaining to who runs the Nets’ offense — at least with the starting unit.

However, there is plenty of intrigue with the second unit.

The Nets have an abundance of options at backup point guard, and there are multiple factors in play. The most notable, predictably, is health. If all of the Nets’ potential point guards are healthy, Kenny Atkinson should have a relatively set depth chart. But if there are injuries to deal with, the Nets have options which they can call upon.

Now without further ado, here is a look at the point guard depth on the Brooklyn Nets’ roster.
