However, there are plenty of other factors that suggest that the Nets are poised to make an incredible leap in the standings next season.<\/p>\n
A bulkier Egor D\u00ebmin looked ready to take the next step in his game during Summer League, attacking the rim like we’ve never seen before and throwing down alley-oop slams reminiscent of a dunk contest winner.<\/p>\n
D\u00ebmin will likely operate better in an off-ball role, given his ability to light it up from deep and serve as a secondary playmaker, especially with Mikel Brown Jr. in the mix to make life much easier<\/a> for his new backcourt partner<\/a>.<\/p>\n Brown could also become the three-level scoring guard the Nets so desperately need to help them come through with clutch buckets down the stretch of tight games or when the team is otherwise in need of a spark when the game slows down.<\/p>\n In addition to Randle, the Nets added a solid mix of veterans to the mix this offseason, including Keon Ellis and Mortiz Wagner.<\/p>\n If Randle and Michael Porter Jr. find quick chemistry and Brooklyn’s young core of D\u00ebmin, Brown, Nolan Traor\u00e9, Danny Wolf and Noah Clowney all take considerable leaps in their game, there is a very rela chance that the Nets could break through and land at least one of the play-in spots next season.<\/p>\n
