Nets evaluate 2025 NBA Draft class during 2026-27 season

Summary

The Brooklyn Nets are set to assess their 2025 NBA Draft class in the upcoming 2026-27 season. Guard Egor Demin, selected with the No. 8 overall pick, showed promise before injury curtailed his rookie campaign. He is joined by guards Nolan Traore and Ben Saraf, forward Drake Powell, and Danny Wolf, who were all first-round selections. Their performances will be crucial as the Nets look to solidify their future roster. Coach Jordi Fernandez is expected to provide ample playing time to gauge the potential of these young players, particularly Traore and Saraf, who faced challenges last season.
