Brooklyn will enter the 2025-2026 NBA regular season as the youngest team in the league and are excited about number eight overall draft pick Egor Demin from BYU.
Brooklyn’s leading scorer Cam Thomas (24.0 ppg) is back on a team-friendly qualifying offer and will likely move on at the end of the year. Michael Porter Jr. and Terrence Mann are proven NBA commodities that will help the Nets ascension from perennial bottom feeders.
Hornets Preview
The Charlotte Hornets have missed the postseason for nine straight years and are looking to win their first playoff series since 2002. The Hornets (19-63) finished last season with the second worst record in the Eastern Conference and neat the bottom of the league in offensive efficiency. If LaMelo Ball stays healthy, Charlotte could challenge for a playoff spot. The team lost 32 of 35 games in which Ball did not suit up for a season ago.
Former number two overall draft pick Brandon Miller missed the final three months of last year and has proven to be an adequate number two scoring option. Athletic F Miles Bridges and newly acquired G Collin Sexton make the Hornets a team to keep an eye on to start the 2025-2026 campaign.
