Maybe the Brooklyn Nets won’t be so terrible. Maybe Jeremy Lin takes Linsanity to peak levels, maybe he and Brook Lopez form an unstoppable pick-and-roll duo, maybe Rondae Hollis-Jefferson learns how to make a shot outside of 15 feet, maybe Caris LeVert overcomes injury concerns to emerge as a dark horse Rookie of the Year candidate and maybe Kenny Atkinson immediately proves himself as a capable head coach. <p>But holy s**t is that a lot of “maybe”s. More likely, the Boston Celtics will be getting a lovely top-five selection in the 2017 NBA Draft, courtesy of the Nets’ misery.</p>. 0-0. Previous: . Brooklyn Nets. 29. team. 147
