Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 11 - Mark Jones (1983)
The Brooklyn Nets have 52 jersey numbers worn by over 600 different players over the course of their history since the franchise was founded in 1967 as a charter member of the American Basketball Association (ABA), when the team was known as the "New Jersey Americans".
Since then, that league has been absorbed by the NBA with the team that would later become the New York Nets and New Jersey Nets before settling on the name by which they are known today, bringing their rich player and jersey history with them to the league of today.
To commemorate the players who played for the Nets over the decades wearing those 52 different jersey numbers, Nets Wire is covering the entire history of the franchise's jersey numbers and the players who sported them since the founding of the team. The 13th of those 52 different numbers is jersey No. 11 which has has had a total of 19 players wear the number in the history of the team.
The 10th of those players wearing No. 11 played in the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets era, guard alum Mark Jones. After ending his college career at St. Bonaventure, Jones was picked up with the 82nd overall selection (there were many more rounds in that era of the draft) of the 1983 NBA draft by the New York Knicks.
The Rochester, New York native played his sole season in the NBA with New Jersey, however, after being cut by the Knicks and signed by their now-crosstown rivals.
During his time suiting up for the Nets, Jones wore only jersey No. 11 and put up 1.2 points per game.
