The Brooklyn Nets are less than one week away from seeing what some of the youngest players on the team are ready to do at the next level. Following the conclusion of the 2025 NBA Draft, Brooklyn only has to wait until July 10 when the 2025 NBA Las Vegas Summer League tips off and now, Nets fans know who will be playing during that time.
The Nets announced on Saturday their roster for the Las Vegas Summer League as the team is gearing up for a 2025-26 season that is hopefully better than 2024-25. For starters, Brooklyn assistant coach Steve Hetzel will once again be leading the Nets during the event as he looks to improve from last year’s 3-2 record to hopefully guide the team to the league championship.
When the Nets begin play at 5:30PM ET on July 10 against the Oklahoma City Thunder, they will be led on the court by players like guard Egor Demin, the eighth overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft and guard Nolan Traore, the 19th overall pick. The Nets’ other three draft picks, forward Drake Powell (22nd overall pick), guard Ben Saraf (26th), and forward Danny Wolf (27th) will be playing as well.
In addition to the youngest players taking the floor for Brooklyn, they will have some veterans on the court as well with players like forward Tosan Evbuomwan, center Drew Timme, and guard Tyson Etienne on the roster. All three veterans played for the Nets last season and as it stands, Evbuomwan and Etienne are set to spend time in Brooklyn and in Long Island since they are currently signed to Two-Way contracts.
This will be Brooklyn’s 11th time competing in the Las Vegas Summer League for the 11th time. Last season, under the guidance of Hetzel, Jalen Wilson played arguably the best basketball of his career as he averaged 21.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 1.0 assists per game on 47.3/55.0/89.5/ shooting splits. Wilson’s performance earned the Summer League MVP award so it will be interesting to see if someone on the Nets can do something similar this time around.
