The Nets made it a point this offseason to address their need for length.

It remains to be seen if their lack of girth is going to bite them in the regular season.

Their roster should be able to guard the ball and defend better than it did last season, but it’s not built to be physical. That’s been underscored this preseason and is an issue they’re going to have to work through.

“It’s always been a topic, we talk about it every day. We know we don’t have the most physical team,” coach Steve Nash said. “But it’s got to be a part of the way we play, and so that’s something that can develop over time. It’s not a switch. We have to have the mental toughness to stay physical.”

Nic Claxton, Kevin Durant and Ben Simmons — a former Defensive Player of the Year runner-up — give the Nets a trio of 7-foot wingspans in the starting lineup. But none is viewed as a bruiser.

The spindly Durant is 6-foot-10, 225 pounds, while Claxon seems set to start at center despite a 6-11, 226-pound frame.

“I feel a lot better [than last season], just mentally and physically. I feel a lot more confident now going into the preseason and just ready to get everything started. Working hard and excited,” said Claxton, who has added muscle. “It’s probably been around seven to 10 pounds. Feel a lot better, though.”

With the offseason departures of veterans LaMarcus Aldridge and Blake Griffin, little-used Day’Ron Sharpe is the only other pure center listed on the roster. He logged under 400 minutes last season, but at 6-9, 255, Sharpe could be forced into action should the Nets need more physicality.

“I think I’m a physical player in general so you know I just keep playing my game and take care of myself,” Sharpe told The Post.

“I feel like whatever the team feels is best for me, that’s what’s best for me. I’m just going to keep continue doing me, keep working hard, and contribute to the team.”

Markieff Morris (6-9, 250) has played power forward throughout his career and considers himself such but said if Nash views him as a center — and he does — then he’s more than willing to play as a 5.

RaiQuan Gray (6-7, 260) is an Exhibit 10, essentially a training camp invite.
