Shooting and rebounding, probably a tie on those two.

id say 3pt shooting. 5 (farmar, morrow, D. james, Outlaw, Murphy)of the 7 players we added that are going to actually play r good 3 point shooters(the exceptions being Favors and Petro of course)

Definitely 3pt shooting. Murphy, Morrow, Outlaw, and other decent players. Finally have some quality shooters that we can actually rely on.

Talent.
I actually dont think the shooting has gotten that much better and this is because this was a good shooting team to begin with. I've been saying it for months now and have backed it up with stats. Nets started off the season with half the team hurt and the other in a slump. The last 2 or 3 months of the season (which is HALF the season) the Nets were shooting 3 pointers in the top 5 of the league. This is a fact! That is NOT a bad shooting team. You're all really underrating the shooters we had last season cause the season totals are poor and the team was so horrible.
We added (farmar, morrow, D. james, Outlaw, Murphy) but we lost Dooling, Lee, Hayes and Yi. I'm not saying the teams isn't better at shooting, but its not the huge difference you all seem to think. The difference is that most (not all) of the additions are simply better players then the ones we lost.

Coaching no doubt about that (from the Kiki era that is). Depth is a close second (I guess that is the same as talent.
Our bench is going from Dooling, T-Will, Simmons, Boone, Hump, and Hassel (I made Hayes the starter)
to
Farmar, Morrow, James, Favors, Petro, Hump, Zoubek, and Ross
4 guys from last year can't even get a job. ALthough I am surprised nobody is giving Hayes a shot but I can see the others.

Overall talent of course but to be more specific...I think it's 3pt shooting.
Our 3pt shooters were abysmal last season and all though we did improve post all star we were still struggling to reach 35%. Our best month was March where we were hitting over 38% of them....but that was it. This changes next season.Statistically speaking all our 3pt shooters last season except for James (since he hasn't played a game in the NBA yet) were shooting over or very close to 38%. So I expect us to be more efficient in that category and more consistent.
Should also improve a lot in rebounding. We were a bottom 3 team last season there as well and with our new pool of Bigs and Avery's Defense/Rebound first methodology we should see a drastic improvement
Overall, I think we can move into a top 10 3pt shooting team in the league next season, percentage wise anyways. Rebounding? Probably not but I'm still hoping for a huge improvement.
