Small forward Jarvis Hayes has really been playing well for the Nets lately. In his last five games, Hayes has averaged 33.4 minutes, 11.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 1.4 steals per game on 53.3% shooting from the floor. Hayes has now played in 20 games (6 starts) for the Nets this season and he is averaging 22.8 minutes, 7.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.8 assists per game. The Nets recently put Hayes into the starting lineup to showcase him for a trade. A team like the Grizzlies would likely be interested in a player like him.

The Nets might be 4-46 but it’s not Brook Lopez’ fault. He has played in 50 games (all starts) for the Nets this season and he is averaging 36.7 minutes, 19.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.0 blocked shots per game. Lopez is shooting 50.4% from the floor which is impressive seeing how he is the only player opposing teams are concerned with on the Nets. Wait until the Nets get this guy some help then you’ll see what he can really do.

Power forward Kris Humphries hasn’t been with the Nets too long but he’s already making a mark for them. He has played in 8 games (0 starts) for the Nets this season and he is averaging 24.8 minutes, 13.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game. Humphries will continue to get this kind of playing time as long as he is going good for the Nets. He is already a huge upgrade over the player the Nets traded him for (Eduardo Najera).

Yi Jianlian looks like he’s trying to make up for lost time for the Nets. Yi has played in 7 games (6 starts) for the Nets this season and he is averaging 32.4 minutes, 15.3 points, 7.3 rebounds and 0.3 assists per game. Yi has been outstanding for the Nets giving a lot of help to Brook Lopez on the inside. The Nets will start winning some games soon as they are too good to keep losing like they are right now.

Chris Douglas-Roberts has made the most of his opportunity to start while the Nets started the season short because of widespread injuries. He has played in 20 games (18 starts) this season for the Nets and he is averaging 36.7 minutes, 16.2 points, 4.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals per game. He should continue to get a lot of playing time even when some of the players he was replacing get healthy because he has been one of the best players on the team this year.
