There is no better way to say this. The Brooklyn Nets are horrible. Brook Lopez is their best player. Currently, this team has no direction. Paige would give Brooklyn a much-needed outside shooter.

Jarrett Jack is the starting point guard. Although his game is solid, Jack is not the future of the franchise. Despite being a journeyman, Jack is one of the most underrated two-way players in the NBA.

The second and third string point guards Shane Larkin and Donald Sloan.

This team would be perfect for Paige. Jack represents a veteran player Paige could learn how to adapt to fast-paced style of play in the NBA. Moreover, Jack could mentor Paige on how to modify his skill set to have a long career.

Paige could make this team, even if he was selected in the second round.
