In the NBA playoffs, it was the Brooklyn Nets that were the first team eliminated from the competition. It was an easy 4-0 series sweep for the Philadelphia 76ers.
There wasn’t anything shocking about it. The Sixers have the presumptive MVP on their roster in Joel Embiid. They roster a former MVP in James Harden. The odds were always heavily stacked in favor of this team winning this series.
After all, there isn’t a single offensive player on the roster of the Nets who is a dominant force. The fact of the matter is that Mikal Bridges is a very good player, but he’s likely to be viewed as a second option than a franchise leader on an NBA team.
Zion Williamson of the New Orleans Pelicans, on the other hand, certainly has the chops to become one of the top players in the league.
Injury is the only thing holding him back from reaching his full potential. Injuries are a frequent occurrence for Williamson.
In any case, would the Nets be willing to take a chance on him?
