The 2016-17 Brooklyn Nets season was a challenging one, marked by a significant rebuilding phase. Under new head coach Kenny Atkinson, the team struggled to find cohesion and consistency, resulting in a league-worst record of 20-62. This performance placed them at the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings. The Nets lacked a first-round draft pick due to a prior trade, limiting their ability to infuse top-tier young talent into the roster.
Brook Lopez was a standout performer, leading the team in scoring and serving as a veteran presence. The season saw the emergence of new acquisitions like Jeremy Lin, who showed promise but was hampered by injuries. Despite the dismal record, the season laid the groundwork for future development, focusing on building a culture and developing young players. The Nets’ management emphasized patience and long-term growth, aiming to improve through strategic trades and future draft picks.
- Regular Season Record: 20-62
- Playoff Result: Did not make playoffs
