30. Brooklyn Nets

The Brooklyn Nets likely won’t end the season as the worst team in the NBA this season, at least that’s not the expectation, but this is where they will start it.

During the offseason, the Nets did well by adding Timofey Mozgov, DeMarre Carroll, Allen Crabbe and D’Angelo Russell.

Those additions likely won’t make a huge impact in the way of wins and losses, but they will go a long way in developing and establishing the future in Brooklyn. And that’s arguably just as important as wins.
