While there have been seemingly constant rumors surrounding his playing future, it appears he will be suiting up for the Nets, with or without Kevin Durant. If there was a positive to come from his shortened season, it has to be that he will be fully healthy come opening night. That decision cost him 53 games and will undoubtedly have an impact as managers prepare for the 2022-23 season. Irving was one of the more talked about players last season, missing a substantial chunk of games because he was unvaccinated. From there, managers will need to cross their fingers that he can stay relatively healthy throughout the season. With the team pushing hard for an NBA title, Durant should be able to replicate his 2021-22 production, placing him firmly at the top of draft boards as a top-five target. Warren and Royce O'Neale, Durant is clearly still going to demand the ball, and along with Kyrie Irving, he forms one of the best one-two punches in the NBA. Although the team has added some depth pieces, such as T.J.
Now seemingly locked in with the Nets, Durant feels like a relatively safe target.
Those numbers were good enough to see him end the campaign as the second-best player in fantasy basketball on a per-game basis in eight-category leagues. From a fantasy perspective, Durant is coming off another strong season in which he compiled 29.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 0.9 steals, 0.9 blocks and 2.1 three-pointers per game. It looks like most of the chances to see the Nets wearing their City styles will come earlier in the season, particularly through November and December.įor fans who want to buy the jerseys form themselves, they’ll be able to do so beginning November 15 through the Nets Store.Brooklyn Nets Fantasy Basketball Preview - Top Playersĭurant was the talk of the town this offseason, demanding a trade off the Nets in early August, something that has since been rescinded. There’s will be a long layoff from wearing these jerseys from January to March. The Nets will debut their jersey on November 3 against the Atlanta Hawks, and they will wear them for a total of 23 games this season, so fans will have plenty of opportunities to see the team go to work wearing their new styles.

This year’s team is perhaps the best in the team’s history, but there is also a lot of talent around the league, including the Milwaukee Bucks who bounced them from the playoffs last year, who will be looking to stop the Nets from winning their first NBA Championship. The team’s last division title came in 2006, but they’ve seen some moderate playoff success since then.
The team hasn’t been in Brooklyn long enough to make a legacy of their own, and even their final days in New Jersey weren’t all that pretty. With nostalgia and throwbacks becoming more and more prevalent by the day, it’s cool to see the Nets find a nice middle ground for it all. The most prominent part of it all is the old school logo. Strangely enough, they look modern while also being a throwback to the earlier days of the Nets franchise. The jerseys are nice throwback to the past, and this new style should compliment the current jerseys nicely. Introducing the 2021-22 Nike Brooklyn Nets City Edition Uniform | /KL0lI7HHlJ
