Pretty funny that Brooklyn's going to wind up with almost exactly the same record as last season but they'll be comfortably in #1 instead of #3 and way ahead of the bottom 2. Cellar teams weren't nearly as atrocious this year.
Yeah, we've lucked out with these Brooklyn picks in a number of ways, not the least of which is that there were a ton of teams tanking 2 and 3 years ago and now all of those teams are in a different part of the rebuilding cycle so you don't have the pileup at the bottom that there was for the Wiggins and then Towns drafts. If there was the same kind of tanking going on in the league the Nets might be #5 or #6. But the only real tankers this seasons were LA and Phoenix and no one in the East was trying to lose games (even Philly started to pivot toward winning more this season).
