It will obviously be tough to say much about how the team might perform until the regular season tips off, but the Nets still have a preseason ahead of them that could paint a picture for the rest of the season. The Nets still appear to be lacking talent-wise in an Eastern Conference that has only gotten deeper this offseason, but they could buck that trend a bit if the preseason shows some clear development from the young core.<\/p>\n
Last season, the Nets had five first-round rookies on the roster, all of whom saw their fair share of challenges in their first 82-game season. With that season behind them and an offseason to work on their skills with some experience, the Nets\u2019 young core could walk into training camp looking much different.<\/p>\n
If that\u2019s the case, then those leaps should be on full display when the Nets begin their preseason action next month. With a few games to tune up before the regular season, all eyes will be on the young core from last season and how they\u2019ve developed over the summer.<\/p>\n
Of course, not all of their development will be on display in such a short window in the preseason, but how they perform could be indicative of what\u2019s to come in the regular season and potentially beyond. It\u2019s clear that Brooklyn <\/a>is facing an uphill battle when it comes to trying for a playoff spot, so a leap in talent level compared to what\u2019s expected could be something that helps Brooklyn set itself apart when the preseason tips off.<\/p>\n
