27. Brooklyn Nets
Starting Backcourt: Jeremy Lin and Randy Foye
Above is a photo of Jeremy Lin when he was notified that Randy Foye will likely start next to him in his first year in Brooklyn (this is not actually a reaction photo but you get the point).
The only reason the Nets are even rated this high is due to the excellence of Jeremy Lin. Lin finished 7th in Sixth Man of the Year voting last year and was an integral piece on a Hornets team that clinched a playoff berth and took the Miami Heat to seven games in the first round of the playoffs.
He may not be “Linsanity” anymore but he has shown flashes of that brilliance from time to time (see: vs the Raptors and Spurs in 2015-16). Regardless, he is worthy of a starting point guard gig and, who knows, maybe being back in New York makes Lin even better than he is now.
