After a promising start to the season, the Brooklyn Nets have experienced a significant decline in the Eastern Conference standings. With a current record of 19-27, the team is now faced with a crucial decision: should they embark on a full-scale rebuild? Since the departure of Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving last season, Mikal Bridges has been seen as the centerpiece of Brooklyn's retooling efforts.
Bridges had an exceptional season last year, averaging 26.1 points per game in his new role. However, as the opposing defenses have adapted to his role as the primary scoring option, Bridges' numbers have dipped slightly, with him now averaging 21.9 points on less efficient shooting.
