Brooklyn Nets: Rondae Hollis-Jefferson

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson is entering his sophomore year in the NBA. In addition to a depleted Brooklyn Nets roster and a hopeless next few years, Hollis-Jefferson could turn out to be the future of this franchise.

While scoring just shy of six points per game last year and hauling in five rebounds per contest, Hollis-Jefferson showed that he belongs in the NBA at the young age of 20. Even though he had a solid rookie campaign, it was sad watching it cut short to injury.

With growth, maturity and most of all extended playing time, he will be able to show what he can really do on the hardwood.
