1995-1996 REGULAR SEASON
After being acquired from Charlotte on Jan. 19 in the Kenny Anderson deal, Gill played less than a month for New Jersey before suffering a fracture of the left index metacarpal in a game on Feb. 14 against Indiana. He underwent surgery two days later and missed the final 33 games of the season.
Though his time in a Nets uniform was brief, Gill showed what he could do in his 11 games for New Jersey, and why the Nets are counting on him to be a big part of their future. He averaged 17.5 points, 3.9 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 2.0 steals in 38.0 minutes per game for the Nets, including a season-high 30 points against his former Charlotte teammates on Jan. 26 and a season-high six assists against his former Seattle teammates on Jan. 30. He was just settling into his niche in the New Jersey backcourt when injury struck and knocked him out for the remainder of the campaign.
For the season Gill appeared in a total of 47 games and averaged 14.0 points, 4.9 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 1.36 steals in 35.8 minutes per game.
1996-1997 REGULAR SEASON
With several shooting guards and a paucity of small forwards, Gill was tabbed to swing up to the front line. He responded with the best year of his pro career.
He ranked ninth in the NBA in scoring with a career-high 21.8 ppg, tops on the Nets. He averaged 1.88 steals per game to rank 13th in the NBA, just behind teammate Kerry Kittles' 1.91 spg. He also averaged a career-high 6.9 rpg and 4.0 apg. His total of 1,789 points scored was second-most in franchise history, behind Bernard King's 1,909 in 1977-78, and his scoring average was the team's best since John Williamson's 22.2 ppg in 1978-79. He became only the second Net to finish in the NBA's top 10 in scoring, joining King, who was ninth in 1977-78 at 24.2 ppg.
Gill played in all 82 games, all but one as a starter. He logged 3,199 minutes, the most by a Net since the franchise joined the NBA in 1976-77. His 39.0 mpg tied for 12th in the NBA.
He scored in double figures in all 82 games, joining Hakeem Olajuwon, Michael Jordan, Karl Malone and Chris Mullin as the only players in the NBA to achieve this feat in the 1990s. He led the team in scoring in 38 games, getting 20 or more 52 times and 30 or more 12 times, including a career-high 41 points in a 114-111 loss to Orlando on Jan. 13. He also matched his career-high with 13 rebounds in a 98-96 overtime loss at Toronto on Dec. 26.
