Jarrett Jack

Jack was tasked with running the show for a rebuilding Nets squad in 2015-16, one of the few times in his career that he's been anointed a starter to begin a season. With averages of 12.8 points, 7.4 assists, 4.3 rebounds, 1.1 steals and 1.0 three-pointer across 32.1 minutes per game, Jack was a useful source of counting stats during his time on the court, albeit with poor percentages from the field and three-point range. Unfortunately, his season came to an abrupt end Jan. 2, when Jack suffered a torn ACL that required surgery. Though Jack could have been retained at an affordable $6 million for 2016-17, the Nets weren't willing to take a gamble on a 33-year-old coming off a major injury and chose to waive him before his contract became guaranteed for 2016-17. Jack would eventually find a home in Atlanta, where he starred during college at Georgia Tech, on a one-year deal. Now on his eighth team in 12 seasons, Jack will head back into a familiar backup role at point guard behind newly-anointed starter Dennis Schroder, who replaces the since-departed Jeff Teague. It's expected that Jack will be back to full health early in the upcoming season if not during training camp, and though he probably won't be counted on to play much more than 18-to-24 minutes per game, he'll provide an important mentorship role for the 23-year-old Schroder more so than many notable on-court contributions.
