Who are the best five active players who used to play for the Brooklyn Nets?
The Brooklyn Nets are currently on a seven-game winning streak and have won 11 of their past 12 games. This current iteration of the Nets seems to be poised to make a title run this season.
With the playoffs still months away, it may be time to take a look back in history to remember some of the great players that used to play for the Nets. HoopsHype recently put together a list of the best starting five of active NBA players who used to play roundball for the Nets.
Some of the players in this list carry some heavy name recognition and tell a story of how the current Brooklyn Nets have gotten to this point. With no further ado, here is the list:

HoopsHype comparing the two teams
The Nets are currently stacked with talent, but look at how much talent has gone through Brooklyn in the past few years – enough to keep a game between their 2022-23 starters and their past ones competitive. We would probably still give the edge to the current Nets thanks to Kevin Durant and Irving, to go with Ben Simmons, Nic Claxton and Joe Harris, but this matchup at least gives us some pause.
