As one of the biggest surprises in the NBA this season, the Brooklyn Nets will be heading into the offseason will a significant amount of momentum. While they have some big decisions to make regarding paying some of their players this summer, I don’t have any doubts that this team won’t make the right decision.
It feels like they’ve been doing so ever since Sean Marks came on board. And with the 17th pick, the Nets make a decision that could help down the road more than this upcoming season. Sekou Doumbouya is a young, high ceiling type of player that probably won’t be in the NBA next season and would benefit from continuing to develop overseas.
Stashing their first-round draft pick this season could also go a long way in the Nets figuring out the puzzle that will be this summer.
