The Brooklyn Nets are in a full rebuild. Taking five first round draft picks was unprecedented by Sean Marks and company.
So while Terance Mann at the ripe old age of 27 is the oldest player on the roster, hope for the young nucleus of players developing remains high.
Sixteen players 25 years or younger, including five rookies spells a developmental year for Brooklyn.
Expectations from fans are at an all-time low.
The national pundits are also tabbing the Nets as a bottom feeder team.
ESPN's Power Index has the Nets among the cellar dwellers.
For those hopeful the team can draft in the top 3 position in a front-loaded 2026 NBA draft, ESPN's Power Index doubles down on the fact the Nets will struggle to find wins this upcoming season.
Some fans will be rejoicing at the fact the franchise won't be in NBA purgatory like last year where they're not bad enough to land a top draft pick, but not competitive enough to clinch a playoff berth.
Jordi Fernandez, Marks and his staff will look to evaluate what pieces will be building blocks in the seasons ahead. But there will likely be some major growing pains in Brooklyn for 2025-26.
