3. Sign Kyle Anderson in free agency

Adding two-way wings capable of defending at a high level should be Brooklyn’s top offseason priority. Anderson represents one of the best potential options that might be available to them in free agency.

It’s possible the Grizzlies will elect to bring him back after his effective postseason play this year, but it’s more likely he’ll be hitting the open market. The Nets should target him with their taxpayer mid-level exception the minute free agency begins.

Anderson’s lack of perimeter shooting ability makes him a bit of an awkward fit for Brooklyn on the offensive end, but his length and quickness make him an ideal fit on defense. Specifically, Anderson’s ability to guard big wings and more conventional bigs would give the Nets much-needed defensive flexibility in the postseason.

Anderson might be hoping for a bigger contract in free agency, but he’s only going to be really valuable to a contender that needs his versatility in the playoffs. The Nets should sell him on the big role he can have to land him before his market really heats up.
