The Brooklyn Nets selected a few players that might be promising shortly in the 2023 NBA Draft, which was vital for them. The squad made several free-agent additions to strengthen itself for a playoff push the following season. Sadly, some people doubt the Nets’ ability to compete at a high level in the upcoming season.
In 2023–24, Brooklyn will be worse than 2018–19, when they finished as the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference Playoffs, predicts Dan Favale of Bleacher Report. Favale’s forecast makes sense, considering that the Nets are changing from a group headed by Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving to one led by Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson.
Given how the general public sees the Nets, Brooklyn must hope that Ben Simmons can complement the contributions that Bridges, Johnson, and Nic Claxton will provide for the foreseeable future by getting closer to his All-Star form. Favale’s predictions for the Nets’ upcoming season are as follows:
“Mikal Bridges’ breakout post-Kevin Durant trade coupled with a “good job, good effort” first-round sweep at the hands of the Philadelphia 76ers somewhat overshadowed just how far the Brooklyn Nets fell following their superstar fire sale. They went 12-15 after Bridges debuted, with a bottom-eight offence and league-average-ish defence.
Brooklyn’s roster is similar to that 27-game stretch. Darius Bazley, Dennis Smith Jr. and Lonnie Walker IV are intriguing fliers, but they aren’t fortune-turners.”
