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 17th of those players wearing No. 11 played in the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets era, guard alum Jacques Vaughn. After ending his college career at Kansas, Vaughn was picked up with the 27th overall selection of the 1997 NBA draft by the Utah Jazz.
The Los Angeles, California native would play the first 4 seasons of his pro career with the Jazz. He would also have stints with the Atlanta Hawks, Orlando Magic, and Hawks again before he signed with New Jersey in 2004. His stay with the team would span 2 seasons, ending when he signed with the San Antonio Spurs in 2006.
During his time suiting up for the Nets, Vaughn wore only jersey No. 11 and put up 4.3 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 1.7 assists per game.
