Get excited Nets fans because the New Jersey backcourt has a lot of potential.
That is, if point guard Deron Williams re-signs this offseason.
In any event, the mere thought of him being paired with Providence shooting guard Marshon Brooks should give some goose-bumps.
After the 2010-11 season concluded for the Providence Friars, Brooks averaged 24.6 points, seven boards, and 2.5 assists per game.
And, after playing in the rigors of the Big East conference, which saw 11 teams qualify for the NCAA Tournament (including the eventual national champion), Brooks performed miraculously.
Now, he has an opportunity to play with one of the best point guards in the association, and really make a name for himself.
Barring a lockout, the sooner these two begin working together the better because they will be fun to watch.
Include center Brook Lopez in the frontcourt and there?s someone they can really count on in the paint.
Next up, making a move via trade/free agency to bolster either forward position.
Ladies and gentlemen, these Nets will be contending for the Eastern Conference within five years. Mark it down.
