The Brooklyn Nets officially have a three headed monster on their roster. The trio of D’Angelo Russell, Spencer Dinwddie, and Caris LeVert is the best 3 guard group of any team in the NBA. All 3 players have all star potential (With Dlo being the only actual all star), and hopefully Dinwiddie and LeVert make at least one all star team in their careers. D’Angelo Russell is the leader of the trio, as he is averaging 20.5 ppg and 6.8 apg on 43.6% shooting from the field. Russell mans his own group in the Nets rotation because of his ball dominant play, and he is also the most talented player out of the trio of guards. Spencer Dinwiddie may just be the most important player on the Nets roster, as he is averaging 17.2 ppg and 5.0 apg on 46% shooting from the field. The Nets went into a funk when Dinwiddie got hurt, as their second unit went in the tank. Dinwiddie is one of the best sixth men in the entire NBA, and should finish in the top 3 for 6th Man of the Year award. Dinwiddie probably would have won the award (still has a chance but a very small one) if he had not missed 4 weeks of action due to a thumb injury. Lastly, Caris LeVert is the most unique out of the trio and is averaging 14.9 ppg and 4.0 rbg on 43.6% shooting from the field. LeVert was well on his way to an all star appearance before he suffered a freakish leg injury on November 12th in Minnesota. LeVert carried the Nets early in the season, and is now trying to work his way back to that dominant early season play.

The Nets are a very dangerous team when all 3 players are healthy. Russell, Dinwiddie, and LeVert are all healthy for the first time since LeVert went down, and the results have shown. Over the past 2 games the Nets are averaging 120 ppg thanks to the three headed monster. On Monday night the Nets blew out the Mavericks, and the trio were main reasons why. D’Angelo finished with a double double (13 points 11 assists), Dinwiddie scored 16 points, and LeVert led the group with 18 points. Then on Wednesday night the Nets once again got an offensive explosions thanks to the three headed monster. Dinwiddie led the group with 28 points, D’Angelo dropped 25, and LeVert chipped in 14. Coach Kenny Atkinson has successfully figured out how to mend the three guards with rotations that put D’Angelo with Joe Harris and Jarrett Allen, while Dinwiddie and LeVert man the second group with DeMarre Carroll. Russell still sees time with both Dinwiddie and LeVert, and has played well with both of them these past 2 games. The best part of having all 3 players healthy is that Kenny can play the hot hand at the end of the game. Atkinson will most likely play 2 of out the 3, and he has the flexibility to get creative at the end of games. Dinwiddie can play with Russell (like last night), or Dinwiddie can play with LeVert, or Russell could play with LeVert. The three headed monster will feed off each other, and strive each other to get better. All in all, the Nets have a 3 headed monster on their hands and they should be feared in the East because of it.
