In what seemingly came out of nowhere, Justin Hamilton finds himself not only in a steady rotation with the Brooklyn Nets, but in a surprisingly important role.
The 26-year old bounced around the NBA to begin his career, playing with the Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat, and Minnesota Timberwolves in the span of his first two seasons.
After leaving the NBA for a season to play overseas, Hamilton signed a multi-year contract with the Nets this past July. Since then, he’s played backup to Brook Lopez and has built himself a consistent spot in the rotation.
