Brooklyn Nets have made history by selecting five players in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft, notably two Jewish players, Ben Saraf and Danny Wolf, marking the first time since 2006 that two Jewish players were drafted in the same year. With Saraf and Wolf picked at 26 and 27, respectively, the number of Jewish players in the NBA has doubled, adding to a roster that already includes Deni Avdija and Domantas Sabonis. General Manager Sean Marks emphasized the global nature of basketball and the importance of talent over ethnicity.

Saraf, the son of former Israeli players, was recognized as the top young prospect in the Israeli Basketball Premier League and has impressive international credentials, while Wolf contributed to Michigan's success and represented Israel at the U20 European Championship. Both players are considered development projects but have shown potential for significant contributions to a rebuilding Nets team.
