Brooklyn Nets jersey history No. 34 - Devin Harris (2008-11)

1 week ago 2

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 12th of 15 people to wear the No. 34 jersey, guard alum Devin Harris. After ending his college career at Wisconsin, Harris was picked up with the fifth overall selection of the 2004 NBA Draft by the Washington Wizards.

The Milwaukee, Wisconsin native played parts of the first four seasons of his pro career with the Dallas Mavericks after a draft night deal. He was later dealt to the (then) New Jersey (now, Brooklyn) Nets in 2008, and His stay with the team lasted until he was traded yet again, this time to the Utah Jazz in 2011.

During his time suiting up for the Nets, Harris wore only jersey No. 34 and put up 17.7 points, 3.0 rebounds, 6.9 assists, and 1.3 steals per game.
