The Brooklyn Nets season has been anything but inspiring. They are a bad team in the middle of a full rebuild. General Manager Sean Marks has been tasked with creating a winning team with little to work with.

Sean Marks utilized the draft to get young players Caris LeVert and Isaiah Whitehead, but he used free agent signings to overhaul the team.

The free agents he signed have given mixed results up to this point. Constant injuries have plagued the team, making it tough for head coach Kenny Atkinson to have a consistent rotation. When they have played, they show signs of life and what the offense could potentially look like.

Marks has had to get creative while trying to put this team together. He brought in some seasoned veterans with the hope that they will be able to guide the younger players. He also dipped into the D-League to try and find some diamonds in the rough.

The goal is to hold season-long tryouts for most of the roster. It is likely that many of the players on the floor this season will not be in a Brooklyn uniform next season. Therefore, this team plays hard each game even with the losses adding up.

The level of effort makes it difficult to rank each of the free agents and their impact on the team. The game results have not been good, but the hard work of the players is obvious. Here are all the Sean Marks’ free agent signings thus far and who has been the most impactful this season.
