The Brooklyn Nets<\/a> wound up with the 19th pick in Monday\u2019s three-way tiebreaker held Thursday at NBA Headquarters in Manhattan. The pick originally owned by the Bucks was among the first five rounders traded by the New York Knicks<\/a> last June 24th in the Mikal Bridges deal…<\/p>\n

The Washington Wizards<\/a> who own the Memphis Grizzlies first won the 18th pick and the Miami Heat, who own the Golden State Warriors<\/a> first won the 20th pick. <\/p>\n

The Nets now have the 19th, 26, 27th and 36th picks as well as the sixth best odds<\/a> in the NBA Lottery on May 12. In the lottery, the Nets have a 9.0% chance of winning the overall No. 1 pick and a 37.1% chance at top four pick. Brooklyn has the most picks in the 2025 and is seen as having the best set of picks in Tankathon\u2019s Draft Power Rankings<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Among the most likely picks in the range are prospects like Nolan Traore, the French point guard; Danny Wolf, the multi-talented 7-footer from Michigan; Carter Bryant, the defensive minded wing from Arizona; and Noa Essengue, the big-framed French forward.<\/p>\n

In another tiebreaker of interest to Nets fans, the Houston Rockets<\/a> who own the Phoenix Suns<\/a> first wound up with 9th pick in a tiebreaker with the Portland Trail Blazers<\/a>. The Rockets acquired the Suns pick in their trade with the Nets the same night as the Bridges trade. <\/p>\n

Sean Marks in his media availability last Monday said Jordi Fernandez will have a say in who the Nets pick.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe talk every day, so there\u2019s going to be no surprises at the draft, who we draft, because he would\u2019ve had a say in it,\u201d said GM Sean Marks. \u201cHis staff is empowered to voice an opinion and we truly collaborate on this stuff. That\u2019s really important.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a year under our belts of understanding Jordi\u2019s system and how he wants to play and what sort of talent he\u2019s looking for, what attributes he\u2019s looking for. What\u2019s important to him is super important, and vice versa. There\u2019s an education piece on the draft. I didn\u2019t know he\u2019s had this role in the draft in the past, but I\u2019m thoroughly looking forward to continuing to build this and build this with him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Assistant GM B.J. Johnson has run the Draft for the past five years.<\/p>\n
