As the Nets look ahead, they are in a rebuilding phase after selecting five rookies in the 2025 NBA Draft. Notably, three of these rookies are expected to contribute significantly to the point guard rotation:

  • Egor Demin
  • Nolan Traore
  • Ben Saraf

In addition to the new guards, forwards Danny Wolf and Drake Powell are expected to play roles in head coach Jordi Fernandez’s rotation, though their contributions may unfold later in the season.

Leadership and Experience

Given the youth on the roster, veterans will play a crucial role. Cam Thomas, Michael Porter Jr., and Nic Claxton are expected to lead both on the court and in the locker room.
