Brooklyn Nets: Grading every player through first chunk of 2020-21 season

Landry Shamet

If there’s one player that has genuinely disappointed this season, it’s Shamet, who was traded for a first-round pick this offseason. While Saddiq Bey morphs into a quality role player in Detroit, Shamet is averaging career-lows in points per game (7.7), shooting percentage (38%), and 3-point percentage (36%). Shamet needs to start turning things around quickly.

Grade: C-

Tyler Johnson

Johnson’s grade has improved noticeably in the last few weeks. A career 10.2 points per game scorer, Johnson is starting to take playing time away from Luwawu-Cabarrot and Shamet given his ability to handle the ball and shoot the 3-pointer at a 42% rate. He’s quickly become a vital part of Nash’s rotation.

Grade: B

Reggie Perry

Perry, a rookie out of Mississippi State, was sent to the Long Island Nets after a brief stint as Brooklyn’s backup center. Perry just wasn’t far enough along on the defensive end to warrant playing time. Still, his skills on offense make him worth keeping around.

Grade: C+

Chris Chiozza

Choizza is only in the game when the Nets are far ahead or far behind, so playing time has been hard to come by. However, the diminutive point guard has shown enough of the offensive skill that earned him a contract with Brooklyn last year.

Grade: B-
