If you look at the two "on paper" favorites the Media will have entering the season it is probably the Lakers and the nets. The Lakers stole a lot of the headlines last night but the Nets quietly had a good night.
They lost Shamet and will probably lose Jeff Green. They probably hope to lose DeAndre too but that may be more difficult.
But they added 5 rookies: Cam Thomas, Day'ron Sharpe, Kessler Edwards, Marcus Zegarwoski and RaiQuan Gray.
I have only watched highlights of most but Thomas appears to have one great skill: scoring. It may not be as needed in Brooklyn as in other places, but I could see him scoring 12 points in a quarter of a playoff game. Sharpe needs time to develop but in time he could be their big body center to use against the bigger teams.
Their second round picks probably won't help much right now but Edwards is a long wing with some interesting traits. Zegarwoski has some Seth Curry in him and I am a big fan of RaiQuan Gray.
