Brooklyn Nets

The NBA has released its All-NBA lineups, and there are no Nets on the list. But that doesn't mean none were given consideration.
Brook Lopez's strong push near the end of the year was enough for him to garner one Third-Team vote, as pointed out by Benny Nadeau at The Brooklyn Game:

The NBA has released the full voting for their three All-NBA teams and Brook Lopez was rewarded with a third team vote. Lopez started the season slow under Lionel Hollins, but came on strong at the end to lead Brooklyn to the eighth and final playoff spot. After back-to-back Player of the Week Awards, a few thirty-point explosions and renewed confidence, Lopez more than deserved his third team vote.
In March, Lopez averaged 20.9 PPG, 9.2 RPG, 2.1 BPG on 55 FG% over 32.4 MPG and threw down similar numbers in April as well. Although the Nets looked to deal the center at the deadline, it was his efficiency and consistency that pushed the franchise into the playoffs.
