Much of the offseason attention around the Nets has been about Jeremy Lin’s departure and D’Angelo Russell nominally inheriting the reins to the backcourt. Caris LeVert has seemingly flown under the radar — but not to those who matter the most.

While the Nets traded away Lin and Isaiah Whitehead, and signed Shabazz Napier to a still-crowded backcourt, LeVert — whom Brooklyn held onto despite a team’s offer of a low lottery pick in return — said he’s not worried about the rest of the roster but just about doing his job, and being as consistent as possible. That’ll mean staying healthy.

“It always sucks losing a brother like that. Jeremy was like a big brother to me. He still is. Isaiah as well. It’s not cool to lose guys like that. But it’s a business and it happens,” LeVert said Monday at the Edmonds Playground in Fort Greene, the first leg of the Nets doling out 2,000 basketballs to local kids over 25 stops.

“We’ve still got a young core, but we added some great pieces. … We’ve got a lot of guys who can play a lot of positions, can play together. That’s a good problem to have.”

Lin, Whitehead and Nik Stauskas combined for just 683 minutes, so the backcourt is still crowded with Napier likely to play more than that if he stays healthy. Health is LeVert’s top priority. He could be poised for a breakout season if he can stay on the court.

LeVert played every game through Jan. 1, averaging 13.8 points on 46.5 percent shooting and 44.1 percent from 3-point range. And he topped double-digits in a career-high nine straight games at the end of that stretch, pouring in 15.7 points on 51.5 percent shooting to go along with 5.6 assists. But minor injuries kept breaking his rhythm.

He missed the next two games with a left groin strain, three with a sore left groin, one with a concussion, four with a right knee sprain and the penultimate game with right foot tendinitis. And it was left foot surgery that scuttled his senior year at Michigan, sent him sliding to the Nets at No. 20 overall and cost him the first 20 games of his pro career.

“A lot of people say I had a lot of injuries last year, but I only missed like 10 games and five of those were the concussion, so I feel like I was pretty healthy,” said LeVert, adding he wasn’t nursing any injury during summer league, is fully healthy and hopes to stay that way. “At this level everybody’s really good. That’s what sets people apart. … It’s definitely one of my goals going forward.”

Of all the Nets, LeVert generated the most interest both at the trade deadline and again before the draft. They could’ve gotten a pick solidly in the top half of the first round, but opted to hold onto the 23-year-old guard instead.

That speaks to not only how highly the rest of the NBA thinks of LeVert, but how much faith the Nets have in him. Now he has to repay that faith.

“For me it’s just staying healthy and continue to maximize my potential. I’m not really worried about anybody else but myself, honestly,” LeVert said. “I’m not sure numbers-wise [what my goals are], but just going out there and feeling like myself every game and doing whatever I need to do.”
