Brooklyn Nets Projected At 23 Wins, Last Place In The NBA
Bob DeChiara, USATSIThe Brooklyn Nets are projected to be the worst team in the NBA for 2016-17, and here is why they won’t be.
The NBA and the people around it know that the Brooklyn Nets will not be good this year. Vegas gave an over/under of 20.5, and now FiveThirtyEight has them finishing at 23-59 which would be dead last in the NBA.
The silver lining? A three percent chance to make the playoffs.
Immediately above Brooklyn are the Lakers (25-57) and Sixers (29-53). ESPN’s Mike Mazzeo noted how the Nets are the favorites in just four games this year, and Tom Lorenzo of Nets Daily added the contests are against the Lakers, Philly (2x), and Phoenix.
