The 2000–01 NBA season was the Nets' 25th season in the NBA.^[1] The Nets won the Draft Lottery and selected Kenyon Martin with the first overall pick in the 2000 NBA draft, and signed free agent Aaron Williams. Under new head coach Byron Scott, the Nets struggled all season long despite a stellar season from Stephon Marbury, who averaged 23.9 points per game and was selected for the 2001 NBA All-Star Game. Meanwhile, injuries limited Keith Van Horn to 49 games, and Kendall Gill to 31 games, while Kerry Kittles missed the entire season with a knee injury. The Nets finished sixth in the Atlantic Division with a 26–56 record. Following the season, Marbury was traded to the Phoenix Suns, and Gill signed as a free agent with the Miami Heat.
