Brooklyn Nets 2016: Year in Review

July 15, 2016 – Nets sign Randy Foye

Randy Foye has done more than his fair share of jumping around, and the Brooklyn Nets are the seventh team he’s played for since getting drafted in 2006. Marks decided to sign him because of his backcourt versatility, along with his ability to be a leader for the young guards.

After missing the first six games of the season, Foye was falling in and out of the rotation because he couldn’t get any shots to drop. He’s never been an accurate shooter, but in the past, Foye’s garnered a lot of respect as a three-point specialist, and he’s down to just 32.3 percent this year. Although he hasn’t been a consistent threat to score, Atkinson can still use him as a de-facto point guard, someone who’s comfortable with making decisions with the ball in their hands.

July 19, 2016 – Nets sign Joe Harris

Before this year, Joe Harris wasn’t known as much aside from being the benchwarmer on the Cleveland Cavaliers. After not playing much last season, Brooklyn scooped him up, and he’s been having a great season when you look at what he did in the past. He’s a Kyle Korver or J.J. Redick-type player, a guy who the Nets can put in motion, run off a series of screens, and then hit the open jumper.

More times than not, he cans it. And he’s actually far more efficient when he’s not shooting threes, even though he sinks almost 38 percent of them. For what the Nets are trying to build, Joe Harris was a great pickup, and, like the rest of the guys they signed, they inked him to a cheap two-year deal.
