Under new head coach, retired Los Angeles Lakers guard Byron Scott,[8][9] the Nets got off to a 6–4 start, but then lost nine consecutive games while losing 17 of their next 20 games. Keith Van Horn only played just 49 games due to a leg injury, and Kendall Gill only played just 31 games due to tendinitis in his right knee, while Kerry Kittles missed the entire season with a knee injury.[10] The Nets lost their final six games finishing sixth in the Atlantic Division with a 26–56 record.[11]

Stephon Marbury averaged 23.9 points and 7.6 assists per game, and was selected for the 2001 NBA All-Star Game in Washington, D.C.,[12][13][14][15][16] while Van Horn averaged 17.0 points and 7.1 rebounds per game, and Martin provided the team with 12.0 points, 7.4 rebounds and 1.7 blocks per game, finished in second place in Rookie of the Year voting,[17][18][19][20] and was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team. In addition, sixth man Johnny Newman contributed 10.9 points per game off the bench, while Williams provided with 10.2 points, 7.2 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game also off the bench, Lucious Harris contributed 9.4 points per game, Gill averaged 9.1 points and 1.5 steals per game, and Jackson contributed 8.2 points per game.[21]

Following the season, Marbury was traded along with Newman to the Phoenix Suns,[22][23][24][25][26] while Gill signed with the Miami Heat,[27][28] Jackson signed with the San Antonio Spurs,[29] and Sherman Douglas retired.

For the season, the Nets slightly changed their grey alternate road uniforms, which remained in use until 2005.
