[box]On the eve of the 2013-14 season, ESPN came out with their final preseason Power Rankings and it seems the Brooklyn Nets have dropped a bit from 3rd earlier in the preseason in the rankings to 7th now entering the season.

Marc Stein attributes the drop in rank to the health issues of Deron Williams and Andrei Kirilenko.

[quote_box] D-Will’s preseason ankle woes force us to drop some early slippage on the Nets after that spectacular offseason shot them into the top three.

Being as healthy as it can for the playoffs is obviously Brooklyn’s priority, but that might well mean a No. 4 seed that drops right in Miami’s path in Round 2.[/quote_box]

I didn’t expect the Nets to be much higher but it is refreshing to see that this team is indeed garnering respect throughout the league before they ever played a regular season game together.

My how thing have changed since New Jersey.
