What a strange roster. There best two players are point guards. Russell and Lin. Guys that I thought were a little bit better than they are, are not. All these guys avg between 7 ppg and 11 PPG. Mozgov, Caris Levert, Hollis Jefferson, Crabbe, Trevor Booker and Kilpatrick are a touch better and that's all they have.

Without there go to guy in Lopez, I'd be surprised if they win 25 Games.



 I'd love to see u guys put together a starting five.

 Mozgov
 Booker
 Kilpatrick
 Crabbe
 Russell

 They have Carroll to know but he's pretty bad as well another guy that avg 8 pog last year.

26-56, 4th worst record.  They aren't any better than last year, but they play more games against worse competition, which will allow them to steal an extra win or two, and I think their high-variance strategy of hurling 3-pointers lucks then into some extra wins as well (last year they were on the unlucky side of Pythagoras.)

I think there are several teams in the 20-25 win range, and that a few finish below the Nets.

I'll say 19 wins. The roster is a mess, no size at all, and not nearly enough backcourt talent to close the gap. Decent coaching but they will be what they were last year. A team that most of the media is rooting for due to their horrific trade with us, they will be described as "scrappy" and "almost there" and will be absolutely horrendous. They won 20 games last year, they look worse to me. Easily the worst team in the league, and not that close..

I think they will be in the upper 20's in wins, but wouldn't be surprised if they won in the teens and were the worst record again.
