Brooklyn Nets: 2017-18 player grades for Rondae Hollis-Jefferson

One of the elder statesmen of the Brooklyn Nets, forward Rondae Hollis-Jefferson has a larger sample to analyze than most. Here is a look at how his 2017-18 season went, his third in Brooklyn.

Rondae Hollis-Jefferson was practically the firstborn child of the Brooklyn Nets rebuild. Acquired in a draft-day trade with the Portland Trail Blazers in 2015 (23rd overall pick), RHJ was one of the few players the Nets could actually choose to acquire since trading away the farm to the Boston Celtics in 2013.

A new general manager (Sean Marks) has been hired since then, but Marks has stuck with Hollis-Jefferson through his rookie contract. RHJ is a free agent next summer, which means the Nets can extend him this summer if they want to. Based on how restricted free agency goes, he could be an interesting piece to monitor going forward.

Hollis-Jefferson showed a lot of consistent effort and production this season, which is a lot more than most fellow Nets can say. He also did it by stuffing the stat sheet, averaging 13.9 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.0 steals per game. He is a well-rounded player with one cathartic flaw.

With these factors in mind, let’s take a look at Hollis-Jefferson’s progress throughout the 2017-18 season.
