Brooklyn Nets

Caris LeVert 

I could be completely wrong here and there are a few other players that I could’ve gone with here with for the Brooklyn Nets, but I’m a firm believer in Caris LeVert making a big jump this season and I completely get why they don’t want to trade him in any hypothetical Jimmy Butler trades.

LeVert only started 10 games last season for the Nets, but upped his minutes per game to 26. He averaged 12 points, four assists and four rebounds per game last season on 35 percent shooting from 30-point range.

LeVert has the potentially to be a really good player with the way he’s built and the attributes he has, if he can make small improvements and be consistent enough I feel like he can be a strong player for the Nets this season.
