As we continue our NBA Preview series, we take a look at 30 burning questions for all 30 NBA teams
Brooklyn Nets
Burning Question: How far can this team go if health cooperates this season?
In order for the Brooklyn Nets to achieve any type of success this season, they’ll need a healthy Deron Williams and Brook Lopez. The only problem with that is that neither were last season. Lopez only played 17 games last year and Williams, while only missed four, looked like a shell of himself due to lingering injury issues. If the Nets are going to provide any damage in the Eastern Conference, they’re going to need health. And while both are fairly healthy now, who nows how long that’ll last?
