NBA: Biggest storyline for each team heading into the second half of 2017-18
Brooklyn Nets
Evaluate Jahlil Okafor
The Brooklyn Nets made the reasonable risk in trading for Jahlil Okafor. Now, they must figure whether he’s a player in this league or not. Okafor is a free agent after this season and need to make a decision on whether they’re going to invest money in him or not.
Okafor has had his ups and downs through the first couple years of his career, and maybe he didn’t get a fair shake in Philadelphia – but who cares. The NBA is a business and sometimes player lose. The fresh start in Brooklyn should help, though.
Can the Nets turn his career around?
