The Brooklyn Nets have chosen to enter a full rebuild after trading Mikal Bridges to the New York Knicks for forward Bojan Bogdanovic and as many as five first-round picks. With Brooklyn now focused on the young players on the roster and their development, that could make summer basketball more interesting for Nets fans.
The Nets announced on Friday in a press release their roster for the Las Vegas Summer League (also known as NBA 2K25 Summer League) that will take place from July 12 to July 22. Brooklyn fans are most likely going to watch the summer league for players like Noah Clowney, Dariq Whitehead, and Jalen Wilson as all three players will be participating after seeing actions of varying degrees this past season.
As Nets Wire has covered earlier this summer, the Nets have signed players like Villanova point guard Mark Armstrong and Emmanuel University guard KJ Jones II to summer deals while also adding players like center David Muoka, someone that has experience playing for Brooklyn’s G League afiliate, the Long Island Nets.
The Nets will be bringing back players like Jacob Gilyard, Keon Johnson, and Jaylen Martin as they look like they want to see how those players will develop with more experience in the summer league. The team will be led by newly-hired assistant coach Steve Hetzel, someone who will be hoping to guide the Nets to a summer league championship the same way he did for the Portland Trail Blazers during his time with that organization a few years ago.
