After a day talking about the Nets offense, it’s time to look at the potential for their defense going into this season. Starting with Nic Claxton who received Defensive Player of the Year votes and adding Ben Simmons who’s been in that tier before, this team could really get after it on that end of the court. 

Add in Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, and even Dennis Smith Jr. off the bench and we could be looking at the makings of a top-10 (or higher) defense when it’s all said and done. The Locked on Nets guys break down what the team could do and how they will look to have an identity on that side of the ball.
