The Brooklyn Nets are gearing up for the 2025 NBA Draft with significant decisions ahead, as they hold at least four first-round picks. Their own selection could potentially land them anywhere between the first and tenth overall pick. Most predictions suggest they may end up taking Oklahoma guard Jeremiah Fears if they secure the sixth pick. An analysis reveals Fears as a crafty scorer reminiscent of Monta Ellis, though concerns linger about his shooting efficiency and speed compared to elite players.

Fears wrapped up his freshman season averaging 17.1 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 4.1 assists, but his three-point shooting stands at a concerning 28.4%. Scouts have noted that while Fears is skilled at getting to the rim, he may not possess the quickness needed to consistently compete at the highest levels. If he can develop his shooting and expand his game further, he could form a potent backcourt alongside Cam Thomas for the Nets in the future.
