## Resource

The Brooklyn Nets’ playoff hopes hinge on fixing their glaring interior defense weakness—ranked 24th in the league last season with just 4.3 blocks per game—and they’re running out of options as key rim protectors like Nic Claxton are gone and new additions like Day’Ron Sharpe, Moe Wagner, and Julius Randle lack the shot-blocking chops to stop opponents at the rim. With no clear plan in place, the Nets may need to scramble later this season via trades or buyouts to shore up a critical defensive gap that could define their entire campaign.
