Nets ranked as worst team in Eastern Conference by NBA.com

The Brooklyn Nets were one of the more active teams in the NBA this offseason as they are looking to tweak their roster while planning for the future. Brooklyn is still in the early stages of its rebuild so the team isn't necessarily looking to make it to the playoffs next season, but the view of the team from pundits suggests that next season could be a tough one. John Schuhmann recently published his power rankings for every team in the Eastern Conference and in his list, he had the Nets ranked as the worst team in the conference following their offseason moves. The most notable moves that Brooklyn made was selecting five players in the 2025 NBA Draft and trading Cam Johnson to the Denver Nuggets for forward Michael Porter Jr. and a 2032 first-round pick. One of the more interesting parts about the Nets' performance during the 2024-25 season is that they finished with a 26-56 record despite beginning the campaign with a 9-10 record, putting them on pace to finish slightly below 40 wins on the season. Given that Brooklyn was hoping to get a high draft pick in the 2025 Draft, they eventually traded Dennis Schroder to the Golden State Warriors to start what would eventually be a harder push to the rebuild. Whether or not the Nets are hoping to improve on their record from the 2024-25 campaign, they are still hoping to improve on both sides of the floor, especially when it comes to efficiency on the offensive end. "They took 24% of their shots, the league's highest rate, in the last six seconds of the shot clock, according to Second Spectrum tracking. Their effective field goal percentage of 44.2% in the last six seconds ranked 25th," Schuhmann noted. As it stands, the Nets will be heading into next season with Nic Claxton at center, Porter at one of the forward spots, Egor Demin at point guard, and presumably Cam Thomas at the shooting guard spot. Brooklyn will be hoping that their rookies and young players make strides over the course of what could be another rough season from a wins and losses perspective. "Over the last 20 years, the 2014-15 Sixers had the highest percentage of their minutes (37%) that went to rookies, and only one of their nine rookies was a first-round pick. The Nets could certainly challenge that mark and maximize their odds for a higher selection than they got this year," Schuhmann wrote.

3 observations from Day 9 of New York Jets training camp

New York Jets 2025 NFL training camp is well underway and will be watched under a microscope each and every day. Throughout practices, updates are shared during the workouts which make for intriguing and important notes. In terms of Day 89of training camp, what stood out the most? Here are three observations from the ninth day of Jets training camp Aaron Glenn shows the passion On the positive side of the ledger from head coach Aaron Glenn, he really showed how much he cares about the Jets once again. Glenn got emotional discussing fans viewing practice as he said it was the "first time it really hit him." Sloppy, sloppy During Saturday's practice there was a bit of a scrimmage that went down. It did not go well. Per reports, there were 12 penalties called during the workout and that is very bad. Glenn has previously said he wants referees at practice to help fix the issue with flags, but improvement is still needed. Glenn was vocal about the problem after practice. Isaiah Davis makes waves On a plus side, running back Isaiah Davis took advantage of Braelon Allen missing practice due to injury. ESPN was among those that praised Davis' efforts working with the first-team offense, both in the rushing and passing game.
