14. Brooklyn Nets (29-29)
The Brooklyn Nets are another team that have been a great story in the Eastern Conference and the NBA as a whole. They also welcomed the return of Caris LeVert, who suffered a scary injury earlier this season. There was a real scare when it initially happened, but the fact that he was able to return before the end of the season is absolutely amazing.
The Nets will likely make the playoffs in the East this season, and it would be one of the biggest surprises in recent history. Entering this season, not many expected the Nets to contend for the playoffs at this level.
Now, with a ton of cap space heading into the summer, and some nice young pieces already on thirster, it’s going to be an interesting off-season for Sean Marks and the rest of that organization. Perhaps the perfect time to make a big splash.
