Broooooklyn chants are raving after landing Curry in the draft. Supplying him with help from Hayward, Harris, Gasol and Favors should be good enough to give a playoff run. I see them getting either the 6 or 7 seed in the East. They are weak at the guard position other than Curry, but he got some good forward/centers to balance that. I don’t see them upsetting any of the big boys in the top 5 but they will put up a good fight.

Curry should take a slight hit with Durant in the mix, but he is still top-15 in our league. Currently Favors is the top player in his team and has potential to grow. Pau Gasol although his age is 36, he still put up great numbers last season, but this might dip as SAS is known to rest & limit minutes on their players. Alex Len could see a breakout this season, after the All-Star Break he has shown glimpse of his upside.
