As mentioned earlier, the Nets are getting younger and younger each season. Despite that, none of the players under 26 are expected to compete for Rookie of the Year or an All-NBA team spot. However, what the Nets are looking for is someone who has the potential to be a starting player in this league. Last season, Kilpatrick and Hollis-Jefferson showed glimpses of being good players down the road. The Nets also picked up LeVert in this year’s NBA draft.

Still, the Nets have to find someone to fill the hole left at the power forward position with the departure of Young. This is where either McCullough or Bennett can shine.

Here is what to look for with each player mentioned in this slide.
