Farmer’s season over: The Nets announced on Thursday that guard Jordan Farmar, who has been dealing with a sore groin for much of the season, will not return this year. Farmar finishes the season with a career-best 10.4 points per game average, as he shot his best percentages from the field, three-point range, and the free-throw strip, in 39 games. He spent much of the season backing up Deron Williams, however he did start five games. (Updated 04/05/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Farmer has one more season left on his contract with the Nets, so he should be back with the team next year. The 25-year-old’s Fantasy value is going to be tied directly to Wiliams’ future. If Williams decides to take his talents elsewhere, Farmar could find himself as the starting point guard for the newly-christened Brooklyn Nets. Watch for the Nets’ offseason moves, however Farmar will likely be a solid late-round selection on Draft Day next year. (Updated 04/05/2012).

Jordan Farmar hit a 3-pointer from the right wing with 0.2 seconds left and the New Jersey Nets squandered an 18-point, second-half lead before beating the Los Angeles Clippers 101-100 on Wednesday night.
03/04/2012 21:13 D-Will's record-setting night lifts Nets
Deron Williams scored a franchise-record 57 points to lift the New Jersey Nets to a 104-101 victory over the Charlotte Bobcats on Sunday night.
Normally when a 24-year-old NBA player has a career season, you can expect him to keep improving. That may not be the case for Farmar. The UCLA product came over from the Lakers last year and posted career numbers in more than 25 minutes per game with 9.6 points, 5.0 assists and 1.5 3-pointers a night. That said, New Jersey’s point guard situation was a mess due to injuries to Devin Harris early and Deron Williams late and Farmer ended up making 18 starts. He’ll be limited to backup duty in 2011-12 behind Williams and will need another injury to get him the playing time he was blessed with last year. Plus, the Nets drafted guard MarShon Brooks, who could take away some of his playing time as well. Consider Farmar mostly just a handcuff to Williams entering the season and only target him very late in Fantasy drafts. He’s certainly a top 100 Fantasy guard, but we don’t have a lot of hope that he repeats his production from a season ago. (Updated 8/23/11)
