Backcourt: Jarrett Jack & Joe Johnson
What was once a promising backcourt is now a bunch of hashtags and question marks. Jarrett Jack is a great backup, but now he must deal with the pressure to lead this aging franchise to the playoffs.
On the other hand, Joe Johnson has been as disappointing as Deron Williams was since coming to the Nets, but now we get to see if Williams was the problem or if Joe Jesus just lost his game.
Jack can easily get 8-9 assists per game if he stays within the offense, but he tends to go off script ala Allen Iverson at times and tries to do too much. Johnson averages of 14 points per game, but still makes $20 million plus a year…lol.
