Nets Season Preview 2022-23

The Brooklyn Nets could make a deep postseason run with a healthy lineup led by stars Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, and Ben Simmons. Whether or not all three stay healthy and play a whole season together could decide this squad’s outcome.

“I think they’ll have a certain element of cohesion out of the gates,” Nets head coach Steve Nash said  via ESPN’s Nick Friedell. “Because they’re all really good basketball players, but hopefully it’s something that evolves. And they can continue to find ways to make each other better. I think that’s the beauty, that they actually fit really well together, but it may take time.”

“But out of the gates, they’re still three great basketball players who I think are excited to play together and will make things happen immediately,” Nash added. “But let’s hope that there’s a constant growth as well.”

Brooklyn obtained Simmons for James Harden in a trade last season with the Philadelphia 76ers. Simmons never saw the court amid health issues. Irving stayed on board after working out is contract, and Durant stayed amid trade speculation. Off-court issues aside, Durant and Irving haven’t played full seasons in recent years.

“I think for Ben a lot of it is not just the understanding, it’s the reps,” Nash said per ESPN’s Freidell. “He hasn’t played for a long time. He’s coming off of back surgery, so I think there’s some periods of indecision and confidence that he has to gain from playing. All of us do. We can’t take that much time off, join a new group and just figure it out Day 1, so he needs time.”

All three together a full-strength makes a for a deadly trio. Irving averaged 27.4 points, 4.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 1.4 steals in 29 games last season. Durant posted 29.9 points, 7.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists in 55 contests.  Simmons, who never took the court last season for the 76ers or Nets, averaged 14.3 points, 7.2 rebounds, 6.9 assists and 1.6 steals for 58 games in in the 2020-2021 season with the Sixers.

Brooklyn added Edmond Sumner, Markieff Morris, Royce O’Neale, and Yuta Wantanabe in the offseason, which could bolster the lineup around the big three. O’Neale, who averaged 7.4 points and 4.8 rebounds for Utah last season, could give the Nets a scoring and rebounding threat off the bench. Sumner and Morris likewise could provide a scoring punch, and both of them averaged 7.5 points or better for their respective squads last season. Wantanabe adds some depth following his 4.3-point and 2.4-rebound averages last season for Toronto.
