The Brooklyn Nets are the most dangerous team in the NBA, and the catalyst for that notion is their prolific shooting.

Wherever you look on this roster, there are reliable-to-elite shooters.

First and foremost, healthy versions of Kevin Durant, James Harden, and Kyrie Irving are superb scorers and shooters. Durant fluently pulls up from beyond and inside the arc and has a knack for sticking off-balanced shots. Harden drains shots from distance with hands in his face and gets to the free-throw line at a high rate.

The Nets role players and/or complementary pieces are even more efficient than those in the front seats. Joe Harris has been one of the best outside shooters in basketball over the last three years, and is shooting 48.5 percent from beyond the arc this season.

Offseason acquisition Landry Shamet efficiently spots up and shoots off the dribble. Jeff Green is shooting a career-best 41.4 percent from beyond the arc this season. The Nets' newest recruit, LaMarcus Aldridge, has a smooth mid-range game and is a capable three-point shooter. By the way, Blake Griffin puts the ball on the floor and is a willing shooter.

All in all, the Nets are first in the NBA in points per game (119.0), and field goal percentage (49.4 percent), and fourth in three-point shooting percentage (39.2 percent).

This Nets rotation has only grown in talent and continuity as the 2020-21 season has progressed. How will it fare in the postseason? Well, barring an overwhelming amount of injuries, head coach Steve Nash's roster is poised to be as close to unstoppable as humanly possible.

The Nets can put Irving, Harden, Harris, Durant, and Aldridge on the floor in crunch time. That means they'd have five players on the floor who are good-to-great shooters. The game slows down in the playoffs and possessions become more stressful, which leads to teams running the shot clock down more and isolation play looms large.

Brooklyn has an obvious advantage in isolation play with Durant, Harden, and Irving present. However, what makes them a hassle to slow down is that the aforementioned five players drain both contested and uncontested shots. Most of them create separation, too.

How can opponents double-team anyone on the floor for the Nets? It's essentially giving them an easy bucket, which it seems they can muster even against lockdown defenses.

How many teams in the NBA can say they have a five-man unit with all of them being good shooters? As for the Eastern Conference, the Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks are efficient, but their floor generals/lead scorers are lacking shooters (Ben Simmons and Giannis Antetokounmpo). The top two seeds in the Western Conference (Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns) are well-oiled machines, but their centers are minimal shooting threats (Rudy Gobert and Deandre Ayton).

The Denver Nuggets and Dallas Mavericks are the two teams closest to the Nets' wavelength when it comes to having a savvy five-man unit that shoots well. Still, the Nets having players who also thrive in isolation and in the post puts them in a different stratosphere.

The Nets Are A Scoring Force To Be Reckoned With

Incredibly, they can only get better. The big three have only played a handful of games together due to a combination of injuries and individual absences. Over the last month, Irving and Harden have been building chemistry with Durant recovering from a hamstring injury. When the 2013-14 NBA MVP returns, the Nets get one of the five best players in the sport whose games seamlessly fit in their system.

They don't need anyone to stand out. They just need everyone to show up; the bulk of this roster has a common trait. Plus, the Nets have rotation variety. Big men DeAndre Jordan and Nicolas Claxton own the paint, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot has an athletic two-way skillset and Bruce Brown can put the ball in the cup.

The combination of star power, high-profile veterans manning rotation roles, youth, scoring, and shooting on this roster is absurd. If a few high-minute rotation players miss extensive time due to injury, the Nets are still a leading contender. They've shown that in Durant's absence, and now have Griffin and Aldridge in the fold.

Shooting is of the essence in the NBA with teams essentially trying to outscore the league. No team is more equipped than the Brooklyn Nets to do as such in both the regular season and postseason.
