Brooklyn Nets
Returning Goods: Joe Johnson, Deron Williams
2014-15 Breakout Player: Brook Lopez
Word: Call me a fool but, I’m buying the return of Lopez. New Nets head coach Lionel Hollins wants Lopez to toughen up, and I believe he does this season. I’m predicting a huge bounce back return from Lopez, as he leads the Nets back to the NBA playoffs.
