In a historic move, the Brooklyn Nets utilized all five of their first-round selections in the 2025 NBA Draft, becoming the first team to do so. Despite speculation of possible trades, General Manager Sean Marks opted to bolster the roster with an emphasis on development, selecting four guards, including three point guards. Notably, they picked Egor Demin and Nolan Traoré, who were taken earlier than expected. The strategy reflects Brooklyn's commitment to a developmental phase as the Eastern Conference landscape shifts due to injuries among top teams.
I'm thrilled with the group we got tonight. We've got some guys who play the right way, move the ball the right way and have some untapped skills.
Entering the night, expectations were that Brooklyn would trade at least a couple picks to tweak the roster, but they cemented a developmental phase instead.
