NETS BY THE NUMBERS
Brooklyn! Your team looks delicious!1 is the number of transactions made by the Nets since the D720 fantasy draft aka “The Beginning of Times”. 0, if you measure it since Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's appointment in Jul 27, 2015.
1 is also the round of the Fantasy Draft in which Andrew Wiggins was selected with the 19th pick just after Kawhi Leonard and before Jimmy Butler.
2 is the round of the Fantasy Draft in which Joel Embiid was selected and the number of years they waited for him to play.
3 is the pick of the 2015 Rookie Draft used by Nets to select D'Angelo Russell.
5 is the pick of the last Rookie Draft used to select Dragan Bender.
6 is the round of the Fantasy Draft in which Kentavious Caldwell-Pope was selected.
A common debate when it comes to the construction of a basketball team is whether a team should build via draft, free agency or by trading if you got the touch. Success typically comes from the perfect balance of all 3 but once in a while, there are exceptional cases in which a contender is built from scratch with nothing but a great vision for untapped potential.
Brooklyn Nets shall not be considered a contender; At least, not yet but there is certainly a lot to be optimistic about. Fact is that with 22 games played, Nets currently holds the league top position with a 18-4 record and only 4 wins shy from last season. Only time will tell if Nets can keep it up this season but if health is with them, future looks bright for Embiid and company.
