Should the Nets be worried about their 2025 NBA Draft class?
The Brooklyn Nets came away from the 2025 NBA Draft with arguably the most divisive performance due to the players they drafted along with using all of their picks. Brooklyn made sure to prioritize players who could begin their careers as ball-handlers with the potential to be more for a rebuilding Nets squad, but there seems to be plenty of people criticizing Brooklyn's decisions. "I got some people telling me some things about Brooklyn, people are making fun of these draft picks," ESPN's Brian Windhorst said (h/t to Bleacher Report's Doric Sam) during the broadcast of the NBA Draft when discussing the selections that the Nets made. One of the most-criticized decisions that Brooklyn made was selecting BYU guard Egor Demin with the eighth overall pick, much earlier than most of the draft experts expected. Advertisement Windhorst continued by saying "I got people saying to me, executives and agents, they're like, 'I was watching them play three two-way guys during this year so that they can clap for taking the guys they've chosen.' He's like, 'These two-way guys might be just as good as the guys they've taken.'" As Windhorst referenced, the Nets played a lot of guys last season and most of them are perceived to be players who may have a hard time sticking around the league. In total, Brooklyn drafted Demin, French guard Nolan Traore (19th overall pick), UNC forward Drake Powell (22nd as part of a multi-team trade with the Atlanta Hawks and Boston Celtics), Israeli guard Ben Saraf (26th), and Michigan forward Danny Wolf (27th). Based on mock drafts, it looks like the Nets reached on Demin and Powell while the other three selections seemed to be about where they were expected to go. For a team like Brooklyn, getting their first star player in the draft is key to the franchise progressing through this rebuild in a way that allows them to think about being a playoff team within the next few seasons. Many, if not all, of the players that the Nets took are projects, but if a couple of them pan out, this could be a draft that got everything started for Brooklyn.

WNBA Makes Napheesa Collier Announcement Amid Injury Concerns
WNBA Makes Napheesa Collier Announcement Amid Injury Concerns originally appeared on Athlon Sports. For the last two games, the defending Western Conference champion Minnesota Lynx looked uneven and unsettled, following up a win over the Sparks at home with an unsightly loss to the Mystics, a game in which the Lynx scored only 64 points--their lowest total of the season, 19.6 points below their average production. Advertisement But they are excused for that. After all, they were playing without star forward Napheesa Collier, the front-runner for WNBA MVP as the league passes the one-third point of the 2025 season. On Friday against the Dream in Atlanta, Collier was still questionable with the back injury that kept her out for two games. But she not only played, she delivered a reminder on her MVP status in a thrilling 96-92 win to move Minnesota to 13-2 on the season. Collier scored 26 points, with seven rebounds and six assists, overcoming the injuryand earning the nightly nod from the league. Collier earned one of the league's "Top Performer" honors as the WNBA's Twitter/X account announced on Friday. Minnesota nearly coughed up the game but had to withstand a late Dream rally that forced overtime, despite a 17-point Lynx lead in the first half. The game was an odd one, as thunderstorms in Georgia caused the lights at the Gateway Center Arena to go out briefly, resulting in an eight-minute delay. Advertisement The Lynx's Kayla McBride scored 18 points, including the final four points of the game at the free-throw line. Collier played more than 40 minutes in the game, something of a concern for a player coping with back problems. After the win, Collier was asked about how she plans to deal with the back problem over the remainder of the season. "I think just making sure I'm activating before the games and practices, making sure that my core is tight," she said. "That's always the thing with back injuries, making sure you have a tight core. So, doing a lot of ab works, getting ready for summer.' This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 28, 2025, where it first appeared.
