The Nets were extremely active during the 2025 NBA Draft, as they became the first team in league history to use all five of their first-round picks last month. And in a matter of days, the newest group of rookies will get its first taste of pro competition.
With annual Summer League action scheduled to tip-off late next week in Las Vegas, the Nets announced their roster for the showcase on Saturday. The 16-player roster will be headlined by guards Egor Dëmin (selected No. 8 overall) and Nolan Traore (No. 19 overall), and their three additional first-rounders — forward Drake Powell, guard Ben Saraf, and forward Danny Wolf — are making the trip as well.
The Nets are also sending a few non-rookies to the Vegas courts, as center Drew Timme, forward Tosan Evbuomwan, and guard Tyson Etienne are featured on the roster. All three players logged minutes for the Nets last season, and two are currently signed to two-way contracts.
Nets assistant coach Steve Hetzel will lead the team for a second straight summer. They’re slated to play at least four games, with their first coming next Thursday, July 10, against the reigning champion Thunder (5:30 p.m.). The Nets will also battle the Wizards on July 13, the crosstown rival Knicks on July 15, and the Magic on July 16.
