Biggest Weakness: Rebounding
Rebounding has plagued the Nets since the arrival of Brook Lopez.
Lopez is considered one of the best centers in the NBA, but that is basically off of his offensive outputs. He is not a strong defender or rebounder, averaging only seven boards per game last season. The Nets as a unit ranked No. 22 in the NBA with a per game averaged of 42 rebounds.
Thaddeus Young is power forward that rebounds like a shooting guard and, if the Nets are to make a series run next season, one or both of these guys must decide to play like the big men the teams program has them listed as.
