Fantasy Basketball Draft Guide 2025: Brooklyn Nets Team Preview

By Mike Passador Published August 31, 2025 Updated October 15, 2025 2 min read

How’d We Get Here?

The Nets were brutal last season but at least they had a highly tradeable forward and plenty of picks to work with. Brooklyn chose to swap out Cam Johnson for Michael Porter Jr. (and his massive contract) plus some futures, and then made the unprecedented move of making a whopping five first-round picks in the draft. Teams would love to have the opportunity, but it’s hard to fit that many new players into a team and make sure everyone is put in a position to succeed. The Nets are going to give it a shot. They re-signed a couple complementary pieces but chose not to address the backcourt, leaving a couple rookies atop the pile when it comes to playmaking. Nets fans need to brace for lots and lots of losses with one of the strangest depth charts we’ve ever seen. Jordi Fernandez has his work cut out for him.
