30-year old SG/SF DeShawn Stevenson has been truly awful so far this year for the Nets. Stevenson has played in 17 games (8 starts) for the Nets so far this year and he is averaging 17.2 minutes, 2.9 points, 1.3 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. Stevenson is only shooting 25.9% from the floor and 28% (14 for 50) from three point range so far this year…..and that is putrid! The Nets can’t continue to play Stevenson if he doesn’t step up soon.

25-year old PG/SG Jordan Farmar has really been playing well as of late for the Nets. In his last four games, Farmar is averaging 15.0 points, 1.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists per game. The Nets hope that isn’t a mirage as they have no issues with giving him a lot of P.T. as long as he keeps performing at a high level. Farmar has played in 17 games (0 starts) overall this year and he is averaging 19.6 minutes, 9.7 points, 1.6 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. He has been a real asset shooting the ball as he has nailed 23 of 50 (46%) shots from three point range so far this year.

The New Jersey Nets have lost 24-year old small forward Damion James for the second year in a row due to foot surgery. James played in 7 games (all starts) for the Nets this year and he averaged 24.7 minutes, 4.9 points, 4.7 rebounds, 0.4 assists, 1.0 steal and 1.0 blocked shot per game. He has now played in 32 games (16 starts) in his first two years for the Nets and he has averaged 18.0 minutes, 4.5 points, 3.7 rebounds and 0.7 assists per game. It’s unclear as to whether or not James will get a third year with the Nets due to his foot.
