More from Nothin' But Nets

Caris LeVert, a wing who is entering his third NBA season, is the most experienced player on the roster with 128 NBA games under his belt.

A first-round pick of the Indiana Pacers and acquired by Brooklyn with a second-round pick that is 45-60 protected through 2022 in exchange for Thaddeus Young, LeVert will be headed to Vegas for the second time. He did not go before his rookie season as he recovered from a broken foot.

Last season, LeVert played in 71 games, starting 10, and averaged 12.1 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 steals in 26.3 minutes per game on a slash line of .435/.347/.711.

The other prominent Net heading to Las Vegas is rising second-year center Jarrett Allen. Allen, who started 31 of Brooklyn’s final 32 games last season, stepped up his output considerably after the All-Star break, averaging 9.4 points and 6.1 rebounds per game on .597/2-for-6/.776 shooting.

2018 draft picks Dzanan Musa and Rodions Kurucs are both on the roster, as are last season’s two-way players in guard Milton Doyle and forward James Webb. Musa, however, will not play, per a report from Nets Daily.

Musa played 75 games between three European leagues with Cedevita Zagreb and time with the Bosnian national team in FIBA World Cup qualifying and the Nets are opting to rest the first-round pick.

The only other player on the roster with NBA experience is 25-year-old point guard Semaj Christon, who played 64 games for the Oklahoma City Thunder in 2016-17 before spending last season in China.
