Brooklyn Nets
Record: 8-14
Grade: B+
Through the first quarter of the season, the Brooklyn Nets have impressed. Their record might not reflect a B+ grade, but the loss of Caris LeVert has certainly hurt this team’s record over the last few weeks. Take that into consideration.
The Nets are only 2-6 since the loss of LeVert, but this team has certainly looked much better this season. While they likely won’t have enough to make the playoffs this season, don’t be surprised if they manage to make the jump next season. They’re well on the way to returning to relevancy in the NBA.
Keep an eye on the Nets during the final three-fourths of the NBA season, they’re going to continue to surprise the masses.
