The Brooklyn Nets fell short of their championship goals in 2021. Injuries played a major part in their downfall, but a lack of physicality in the frontcourt was part of the equation as well.
Let’s be clear, small ball is woven into the fabric of the Nets. Early preseason action would indicate that head coach Steve Nash is ready to live with Blake Griffin as his center. We will likely see Kevin Durant at the five at some points during the season too.
However, the Nets committed to beefing up the frontcourt in the offseason with the additions of LaMarcus Aldridge, Paul Millsap, and Day’Ron Sharpe.
