The Brooklyn Nets are arguably the best team on paper in the NBA. With 3 of the league’s best offensive players, they are a very talented roster. After a barrage of injuries to stars, Kyrie Irving and James Harden, the Nets went out in the conference semifinals. However, they will now return healthy this season.

Led by Kevin Durant, Brooklyn Nets can be a championship contender. The ‘Big 3’ of James Harden, Kyrie Irving, and Durant will look to live up to expectations and bring a championship to Brooklyn.

Brooklyn Nets starting lineup

With a truckload of offensive skill set, the Brooklyn Nets will most likely remain the same as last year. However, if injuries repeat, a change may be in order. So, let’s look at the Brooklyn Nets starting lineup for the 2021-22 NBA season.

Frontcourt

Kevin Durant (Power Forward)

Kevin Durant will be the starting power forward for the Brooklyn Nets. He came off an Achilles injury earlier. However, that did not stop him as he had the best scoring playoffs of his career, putting up 34 points per game. In addition, he is also a great defensive player because of his length and reach.

Joe Harris (Small Forward)

While Harris did not have the best playoffs, he remains a threat who can get hot at any point in the game. One of the best shooters in the league will start at the small forward position for the Nets. The former Three-Point contest champion is one of the most lethal perimeter shooters and will hope to make his mark this season.

Blake Griffin (Center)

Griffin has done a great job adapting to the modern game and has developed a consistent jump shot. Unsurprisingly, he can still jump over anyone. But, his versatility is what shone for the Nets last season. He can score on the inside and outside and is a reliable defender. He has competition with DeAndre Jordan for the center position.

Backcourt

James Harden (Point Guard) 

Originally a shooting guard, he switched to the point once he joined Brooklyn. However, he continues to dominate offensively, while making plays for others. While his points went down, his assists and rebounds went right up. He is now averaging almost 11 assists and 8 rebounds. All this while putting 25 points per game. He will take the crucial point guard spot for the Nets.

Kyrie Irving (Shooting Guard) 

One of the best ball handlers in the league, he will start at shooting guard for Brooklyn. Kyrie has one of the best offensive weapons in the league. He can shoot, finish at the rim, and now even dunk! The ‘Big 3’ of Brooklyn has an outstanding balance in their starting five.
