Despite continuing to play a significant role for the Nets, Finney-Smith's numbers tell a different story. He played 68 games during the 2023-24 season, averaging 8.5 points, 4.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.7 three-pointers and 1.4 combined steals and blocks in 28.4 minutes per game. Although his contributions are consistent, they make for unexciting reading. Heading into the 2024-25 season, Finney-Smith is penciled into a starting role on a team that could very well end up at the bottom of the standings. While he could play meaningful minutes right out of the gate, there is a chance his role is scaled back as the season progresses. Brooklyn would ideally love to get a look at some of its fringe talent such as Noah Clowney, Day'Ron Sharpe and Jalen Wilson. Finney-Smith could have some early-season streaming value for anyone seeking an injection of three-pointers. However, that seems like a best-case scenario, and managers are likely to be able to find someone with at least a small amount of upside on most waiver wires.
