Thaddeus Young Had A Career Season — After signing a four-year, $50 million contract, Thaddeus Young responded with a great season that went completely unnoticed. Young was first on the team in rebounding and steals, and second in scoring.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Showed Great Potential — Limited to 29 games due to an ankle injury, Rondae Hollis-Jefferson still proved he has the potential to be an elite defender. As predicted, he struggled with his shot, but the rookie forward has plenty of time to correct it.

Brook Lopez Regained His Trade Value — Brook Lopez's production dipped last season with new coach Lionel Hollins seemingly questioning everything about the big man's game. Lopez bounced back in 2015-16 though, scoring over 20 points per game and upping his trade value in the process.

Finding Sean Kilpatrick — The Nets stumbled into the D-League find of the year with Sean Kilpatrick. He was able to convert two 10-day contracts into a fully guaranteed deal for 2016-17 after showing off his impressive shooting stroke.

A New Regime — The biggest positive the Nets should take away is that Billy King and Hollins are out. Enter San Antonio Spurs assistant GM Sean Marks to change things. His first step was hiring a head coach, highly coveted Atlanta Hawks' assistant Kenny Atkinson.
