Thirteen games may be too small a sample size in an NBA season to decree any conclusions, but observations of certain trends can be denoted as ones to monitor, in both hopeful and concerning tones. In the Nets’ case, there have been some results in their 6-7 start that have met or defied preseason expectations. For example, Cam Thomas’ scoring leap to 26.9 points per game, though not surprising to the confident player, was a material boost to Brooklyn’s projected offensive production before he sprained his left ankle in a November 8 contest versus the Clippers. On the other hand, Ben Simmons being sidelined since November 6 with a back injury and averaging less than one free throw per game during the six games he did play was certainly foreseeable, at least to me.
