Nets 2025 NBA Mock Draft RoundP: Who will be Brooklyn Target with the number 8?
THE Networks possess four choices in the first round in the 2025 NBA draft, including the N. 8 Overall word after falling to the lottery.
It is the first time that the nets have a choice of the lottery from the draft NBA of 2010 when they have selected Derrick Favors at n. 3 in total.
After a 26-54 season, how GM will be like Sean Marks Do you use the capital project that has acquired to reconstruct the Brooklyn roster?
Here’s what the drafts of the experts who make goals in the first round on June 25th …
Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo, Espn
No. 8: C khan Maluach, Duke
Height without shoes: 7 feet 3/4
Weight: 252 pounds
Age: 18
Maluach appears firmly in consideration in New Orleans and Brooklyn, but it is also seen by some teams as the most likely among second-level players within 3-8 nn.
Maluach satisfies a clear need that many teams are looking for: it is a true center that can act as a defensive anchoring in the paint and has a significant potential for physically and as regards skills. He plays with enormous intensity and is loved by coaches and teammates for his only intangible off -field.
Its ability to protect the edge, cover the ground in a variety of pick-and-roll patterns and provide vertical spacing such as roller and cutter, while running aggressively in transition, will appeal to any team looking for a center to be built around the long term. – Givony
No. 19 (via Bucks): PF/C Asa Newell, Georgia
Height without shoes: 6-Foot-9
Weight: 224 pounds
Age: 19
Newell is another player who seems to have helped himself in the predate process, having on display his physical tools and space for growth as a shooter, helping some teams to better understand the potential versatility that could provide as a trait-4. However, it has a slightly wider range in the shooting night, taking into consideration the teams in the rear half of the lottery, but with scenarios also at stake where it could slip in late adolescence or in the early 1920s.
The networks have been understandably among the busiest teams of the predate process, keeping choices in every part of the first round and five selections in the Top 40. Most of the League expects Brooklyn to be active in trade this week, even if it is not yet clear how it will seem, the prospect of exchange from here to acquire a second choice of the lottery is among the networks that the nets could explode.
Although it is unlikely that the team is able to record five beginners, Brooklyn has brought the vast majority of the draft for training, giving him more first -hand information on the class than any other team. The networks are also seen as a desirable destination by many agents, due to the minutes and opportunities that have next season available. Newell’s long -term rise could be attractive for them as a addition of development here. – Woo
N. 26 (via Knicks): Pg Nolan Traore, France
Height without shoes: 6 feet-3
Weight: 175 pounds
Age: 19
With four choices in the first round at their disposal, it would not be surprising to see the nets make different oscillations of talents, hoping to discover gems with some of their subsequent selections.
The networks have a vacuum in the backcourt, depending on what they do with their first choices, and this situation will be considered very attractive for any of the guards planned to be collected in this range.
After starting the season projected as a choice among the first 10, the trach of traore has come down due to an inconsistent game, but there is still a lot to appreciate with its size, the dance hand, the creativity of the player and the rise, making it a worthy bet for a team in the Brooklyn situation and this point in the draft. – Givony
N. 27 (via Rockets): PF Rasheer Fleming, Saint Joseph’s
Height without shoes: 6-Foot-8 1/4
Weight: 232 pounds
Age: 20
As mentioned above, the choices of these networks – in particular the couple in the 1920s – are seen throughout the fluid alloy, depending on what Brooklyn moves in the end he decides to pursue this week.
Fleming was not invited to the NBA Draft Green Room, indicating the probability that he could fall on the back of the first round. He has not collected much impetus in the last month, but remains in consideration due to his physical tools and the improvement of shooting at 3 points. Although not a flashy or immensely skilled player, its length, a binary of improvement and late trajectory are indicated to the unused potential. – Woo

No. 8: PF Noa Essengue, France
Height: 6 feet-10
Weight: 194 pounds
Age: 18
Pro comparison pro:Jerami Grant, Pascal Siakam
Noa Essengue may not get to the United States for training with his team now in the German BBL finals. His physical tools, the engine and the improvement of offensive skills played a key role in the Ulm race.
By collecting easy baskets, crashing the glass and occasionally making three spots, Essengue contributed consistently among the professionals despite being the second largest perspective admissible to the draft.
A reconstruction team that can afford to be patient could see a strong bum betting in dry if its growth continues at its current rate.
N. 19 (via Bucks): PG Nolan Traore, France
Height without shoes: 6 feet-3
Weight: 175 pounds
Age: 19
Pro comparison: Lonzo Ball
Nolan Traore flew to Treviso for official measurements and were strong, with the 19 -year -old guard who reached 6’3" In socks with a 6’8" wing opening.
It will enter the draft with the percentage of the highest assistance among the prospects of the first round, but has also shown real growth as a marker in the stretch of the Saint-Quein season. He converted 20 of his last 53 attempts in three points and created offended with a significantly improved decisiveness.
N. 26 (via Knicks): PF Rasheer Fleming, San Giuseppe’s
Height without shoes: 6-Foot-8 1/4
Weight: 232 pounds
Age: 20
Pro comparison pro: Taylor Heddricks
The 7’5 by Rasheer Fleming" The wing measurement opened its eyes for a 6’8 barefoot"232 pounds forward. That physical profile, plus a shot that connects to 62 three (39.0 percent) will generate interest from a number of teams in the first round from half to cut.
We listened to the scouts who think it will go before many initially expected.
N. 27 (Via Rockets): SG/SF DRAKE POWELL, North Carolina
Height without shoes: 6-Foot-5 1/4
Weight: 195 pounds
Age: 19
Pro comparison pro: Will Barton, Herb Jones
The teams imagine putting extra stocks in the Drake Powell NBA that combines performance and training after spending the year to identify 49.2 percent of the Northern Carolina assets and do only 5.7 shots per game.
Despite the lack of production, there may still be an interest in the first round based on its exceptional physical profile, the defensive projection and three -point shooting of 37.9 percent.

N. 8: G Kasparas Jakučionis, Illinois
Height: 6-Foot-4 3/4
Weight: 205 pounds
Age: 19
Sources of the League indicated that the nets entertained the moves up and down the scoreboard. This year they have four choices in the first round and all the ammunition of anyone to get the players they want.
If they attack n. 8, a variety of players makes sense. I would be surprised if Jeremia OR Ace Bailey slipped beyond this slot. Also, if I were Sean Marks and Company, I would try to maintain as many options as possible and not to take a player blocked in position or in the position of the center or the lead guard. Networks are reconstructing and have many needs. And later in the draft, a plethora of big and lead guards should be available.
I am a big fan of players who can dribblare, pass, shoot, process the high -level game and have good positional dimensions. Players like this tend to have a lot of outs, to use a poker term. If Jakučionis cannot separate enough on the ball, I feel sure of his ability to play the ball and hammer the advantages created for him from high -level creative guards, because he can shoot, guide and make excellent passage readings. Jakučionis is a special passing that I hope he continues to work on his profession as a sphere to get the separation from his man constantly without turning the ball and feeling hurry up.
N. 19 (Via Bucks): PG/SG EGOR DEMIN, Byu
Height without shoes: 6-Foot-9 1/4
Weight: 199 pounds
Age: 19
DEMIN can play at the point and is the best passerby of the class. His vision is sublime. But he fought to score this year. He fought to obtain touches of paint because his handle is not particularly developed and does not have the threat of the jumper to fall on, having done less than 30 percent from the distance. However, many teams think they can correct the sweater and, in this case, would open the rest of his game as a passerby and director. I am a little lower with the deminics, but the evaluators who like him tend to love him. He had a strong training in Chicago in front of the NBA managers, but Steam died a little in the last month. It could have gone everywhere from the back half of the lottery to n. 21.
It is also thought that the nets are exploring the moves that consolidate this choice with some of their others to return to the lottery.
N. 26 (via Knicks): Pg Nolan Traore, France
Height without shoes: 6 feet-3
Weight: 175 pounds
Age: 19
Traoré bounce well from a hard start to his professional season in France. From January 15 to April 6, Traoré scored 13 points and four assists on average while shooting 50 percent from the field, 35 percent from 3 and 79 percent from the line. His overall numbers in the year are not so strong, but it is worth remembering that he is a teenager who plays for the first time at professional basketball.
It is very possible that it will be on the goals for the nets when they choose at n. 19. Here, they are lucky and bring it to n. 26 As a choice of value.
N. 27 (Via Rockets): SG/SF DRAKE POWELL, North Carolina
Height without shoes: 6-Foot-5 1/4
Weight: 195 pounds
Age: 19
Powell has the momentum to end somewhere in the back half of the first round because of his defense. Nobody was supervised Cooper Flagg Just as Powell did this season. It is very far in attack, since it is not so at ease as a shooter or as capable as a sphere. It will take some time to play at the NBA level, even with his defensive ability.
Once again, the nets have four first rounds, so don’t be amazed if they try to consolidate a couple of these.
