30. D’Angelo Russell, Allen Crabbe – Brooklyn Nets

The Brooklyn Nets may have shown quite the improvement over the last two seasons, but they still have some developing to do on their roster – and specifically in their backcourt. They have talent, but just leave much to be desired here.

Starting with D’Angelo Russell, the Nets haven’t developed their backcourt starters as many thought they would. Spencer Dinwiddie is proving to be a really good player, but is the backup at this point. He could take the starting spot eventually this season, but is still listed as a reserve on the team’s depth chart.

Russell has all the talent in the world, but still has some ways to go in terms of being a legit starter in the NBA. Allen Crabbe is a veteran, but has lost a step in recent years. He’s solid, but not necessarily a player that is a starter on a good team.
