21. Brooklyn Nets (17-21)

I don’t think it should be overlooked, what the Brooklyn Nets have done over the last two seasons is nothing short of remarkable. This team is no longer the punchline of the NBA, and is quickly becoming a potential landing spot for stars heading into the summer.

Heck, forget the summer, the Nets are in the 9th spot of the East and only one game out of the final playoff spot. The fact that we even mentioned the playoffs for this team is insane, and even more impressive considering this team is playing without its best player, Caris LeVert, who remains out with injury.

There’s a real chance that the Nets could make the playoffs this year.
