4. Trevor Booker

Trevor Booker exemplifies #BrooklynGrit better than anyone on the Nets. The scrappy, undersized power forward is a ball-hawking big who will run the fast-break and isn’t afraid of anything or anyone.

Booker had a nice season in Brooklyn, averaging 10 points and eight rebounds per game in his first season with the Nets. He even started 43 games alongside Brook Lopez in a traditional two big lineup.

Booker isn’t a starter in today’s NBA. He is too small to be a center and he lacks the 3-point range to be a stretch-four. He could be a useful change of pace big, however.

Booker’s defense was impressive last season. He gathered more than a steal per game and often led the Nets in transition. That he ended up with two assists per game is rather impressive for a player with his role.

Booker has an expiring deal and won’t fetch anything great in return. If the team could get any picks, whether it be first or second round choices, they will have gotten good value for Booker.
