MarShon Brooks admitted that he "never meshed" with former head coach Avery Johnson. |
Brooks also said that he's not in game shape because he hasn't "played in a month." Brooks is excited for a new opportunity under different leadership, but his role remains very much in flux. |

Sat Dec 29 2012 | 23:31 | MarShon Brooks plays just six minutes |
MarShon Brooks played only six minutes off the bench on Saturday, scoring four points with zero rebounds or assists. |
Brooks had played 20 minutes in each of the past two games, but tonight Jerry Stackhouse (eight points in 18 minutes) vaulted ahead of him in the rotation. This scuttles the notion that interim coach P.J. Carlesimo would give him more minutes, but it's anyone's guess who will ultimately take over in Brooklyn. Keep an eye on MarShon. |

Sat Dec 29 2012 | 00:10 | MarShon Brooks plays 20 minutes, scores nine |
MarShon Brooks played 20 minutes against the Bobcats on Friday and had nine points, three rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block. |
Brooks could emerge as one of the winners with P.J. Carlisemo taking over, but this quiet outing isn't going to move the needle too much just yet. You'd have to be cutting someone with essentially no value to make a speculative add on him. |

Sun Dec 9 2012 | 21:00 | MarShon Brooks scores 14 points off bench |
MarShon Brooks had his best game in recent memory on Sunday, scoring 14 points in 21 minutes vs. the Bucks, with a +/- rating of +16. |
The Nets were so bad that the home crowd booed them in the second half, but Brooks provided a brief flicker of hope with his strong play off the bench. He's coming off three consecutive scoreless games, however, so don't cut anyone with value for him. |

Mon Nov 26 2012 | 08:36 | Brooks losing time to Stackhouse, Bogans |
MarShon Brooks is losing playing time to veterans Jerry Stackhouse and Keith Bogans. |
Ouch. Brooks showed some impressive scoring flash as a rookie for a terrible Nets team last season, but he's struggling to cling to a consistent role in the rotation this year. He played just 13 minutes on Sunday after not playing on Friday, and hasn't eclipsed 22 minutes all season. Avery Johnson has "made it clear" that Bogans and Stackhouse are getting the nod over Brooks for now. |

MarShon Brooks is healthy, but didn't see the court Friday against the Clippers. |
Avery Johnson hinted after the game that the Nets will be shortening their rotation even further with a healthy roster, leaving little room for Brooks apparently. If you hadn't already cut ties, now would be the time. Brooks remains unreliable for fantasy purposes. |

MarShon Brooks scored a season-high 14 points in just 12 minutes of action vs. the Kings, making 5-of-6 FGs and 3-of-3 FTs. |
One of Brooks' makes was from downtown, and it's nice to see his sprained ankle is behind him, but he obviously needs more playing time to be a reliable fantasy option. |

MarShon Brooks returned from his ankle injury with just two points in six minutes on Thursday. |
Brooks missed three games with his ankle injury and it was a mild surprise to see him only on the court for six minutes with Gerald Wallace out of the lineup. Regardless of whether it's health related or not, there's not enough upside to own Brooks in standard leagues. |

MarShon Brooks (ankle) is active for Thursday's game against the Celtics. |
He has been out for three games with his ankle injury and should see plenty of minutes with the Nets missing Gerald Wallace (ankle) tonight. Brooks could have a nice game against their divisional opponent, but we would leave him on the waiver wire in most formats. |

MarShon Brooks (ankle) appears close to returning Thursday against the Celtics. |
Brooks has missed the last three games with the sprained ankle. Gerald Wallace (sprained ankle) is iffy for Thursday night and Brooks could have an opportunity to impress if Wallace sits again. |

MarShon Brooks (ankle) was limited in practice and is out Tuesday against the Cavs. |

Marshon Brooks (sprained left ankle) will not play on Sunday. |

MarShon Brooks (sprained left ankle) will be a game-time decision vs. the Magic on Sunday. |
The Nets tip off at 3pm so we won't have much advance warning on Brooks' status, but if he's active he should get solid minutes thanks to Gerald Wallace's continued absence. |

MarShon Brooks has been ruled out for Friday's game after suffering a sprained left ankle in shootaround. |
Brooks doesn't have a huge role off the bench right now but this could free a few extra minutes for starter Joe Johnson. Brooks is day-to-day with the injury. |

Fri Nov 9 2012 | 12:07 | MarShon Brooks sprains ankle at practice |
MarShon Brooks sprained his left ankle at shootaround Friday and will be a game-time decision against the Magic. |
After being openly criticized by Avery Johnson in the preseason, Brooks has struggled make much of an impact in limited minutes this season. The most we can advise is for owners in deep leagues to simply monitor Brooks for the time being. |

Tue Nov 6 2012 | 01:05 | Brooks shows up in Monday's loss |
MarShon Brooks hit 4-of-7 shots (including a three) to score 11 points on Monday, and also managed four rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 25 minutes. |
If he can get this many minutes he might make some noise, but he has some holes in his fantasy game and he wasn't nearly as productive in the team's only other game this season. Deep leaguers can simply watch him for now. |

Sat Oct 20 2012 | 02:27 | Brooks plays 12 minutes off the bench |
MarShon Brooks was limited to just 12 minutes off the bench in Friday's loss to the Sixers. |
Brooks hit 3-of-5 shots for six points with three rebounds, two assists, and a steal, but the noteworthy part was Avery Johnson telling reporters that his bench rotation would mimic their regular season approach. Brooks was the 10th man off the bench, and after Johnson criticized his size, strength, and conditioning after Thursday's game, owners may want to look elsewhere for a sleeper pick. |

Nets exercised Rookie option on G MarShon Brooks. |
Brooks is a wild card this season, as he could compete for Sixth Man of the Year off the Nets bench, or be buried too far behind Joe Johnson and Gerald Wallace to make much of an impact. Either way, he's got enough upside to be considered a sleeper in most leagues. |

Fri Oct 19 2012 | 02:51 | Brooks (foot) returns to action on Thursday |
MarShon Brooks (foot) returned to action in Thursday's exhibition loss, scoring seven points on 3-of-6 shooting (including a three) with two rebounds and one assist in 15 minutes. |
Avery Johnson refused to name Brooks his Sixth Man and discussed his shortcomings at length, including his conditioning, size, and strength issues. Johnson added that he wasn't sure if Brooks would play on Friday against the Sixers, saying he'd be evaluating the second-year player's status after the game. We're not sure why he was getting hyped up by some, as he was miles off the fantasy radar the minute Joe Johnson was acquired. |
