Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 34 - Brandan Wright (2011)

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.

And for today's article, we will continue with the 13th of 15 people to wear the No. 34 jersey, Brandan Wright. After ending his college career at UNC, Wright was picked up with the eighth overall selection of the 2007 NBA Draft by the Charlotte (then) Bobcats (now, Hornets).

The Nashville, Tennessee native would play parts of the first three seasons of his pro career with the Dubs after a draft night deal, coming to an end when he was dealt to the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets in 2011.
