LeVert was drafted 20th overall in 2016 by the Indiana Pacers. A couple of weeks later, he was traded to the Nets along with a second-round pick in exchange for Thaddeus Young. After a so-so rookie campaign, the 6-foot-7 shooting guard had a mini breakout year last season. In his sophomore year, he upped his numbers in almost all statistical categories, averaging 12.1 points, 1.2 3-pointers, 3.7 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.2 steals.

As for Allen, the Nets used their 22nd overall pick in last year's draft to scoop up the promising 6-foot-11 big man. Despite playing only 20 minutes per game in his rookie year, the former Texas standout was still very impressive nonetheless. The 20-year-old's per-36 averages are simply off the charts with 14.7 points on 58.9 percent shooting, 9.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.7 steals, and 2.2 blocks.

The Nets are likely not exactly a playoff team just yet, but the future is definitely looking bright for the franchise. LeVert and Allen will play big roles as Brooklyn tries to take a big step forward this season after years of struggles.
