Live Bar August 25 News The Top 25 stars in the history of the Nets (Top 25) were completed by reporters (writers), without the participation and intervention of the Nets official. The judging is based on individual performance, team achievements and contributions, and the length of time the team has been playing. Today, we're going to talk about Derek Coleman, who is ranked 14th.
Coleman is 2.08 meters tall and weighs 104 kilograms, plays as an interior lineman, and is the new Jersey Nets' 1990 pick. As Kidd's previous Nets only player to be named to the Team of the Year twice, Coleman's level and prowess are unquestionable.
The Nets' decline in the late 1980s led directly to the selection of Coleman in 1990, one of the top ten scorers and rebounders in team history. After missing the playoffs for five consecutive years, Coleman led the Nets back to the playoffs in 1992.
Coleman's outstanding performance at Syracuse University allowed the Nets to choose him without hesitation. In his debut season, Coleman averaged 18.4 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1 steal and 1.3 blocks per game, winning the Rookie of the Year and leading the Rookie Team.
The following season, Coleman averaged 19.8 points, 9.5 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, shooting 50.4 percent from the field, and the Nets won 14 more games than the previous season, making it to the playoffs again since 1986.
In the 1992–93 season, Coleman averaged more than 20 points per game, delivering a list of 20.7 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.2 steals, 1.7 blocks, and was named to the Team of the Year (Three Teams) for the first time in his career, joining Petrovich, becoming the second Nets player to be named to the Team of the Year since Buck Williams. This season, the Nets won 43 in the regular season, their best since the 1983-84 season.
In 1993-94, Coleman averaged 20.2 points, 11.3 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.8 blocks per game, making him an All-Star for the first time in his career! On the three-team roster of the year, Coleman is impressively listed.
In his final season as a Nets player, Coleman averaged 20.5 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.3 assists and 1.7 blocks per game, which is still a fairly versatile and excellent statistic.
In his five seasons with the Nets, Coleman averaged 19.9 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 1.6 blocks per game, averaging eighth in team history and sixth in rebounds per game. In Nets history, no one other than Coleman has been in the top eight on both stats (points per game and rebounds).
