As the NBA 2K26 Summer League wraps up, the Brooklyn Nets are gaining clarity on their rookie class and the upcoming season. Egor Demin, the No. 8 pick, showcased his shooting ability, averaging 11.3 points and hitting 43.5% from three, although he must improve his playmaking skills. Nolan Traore, Ben Saraf, and Danny Wolf, the other rookies, showed promise but struggled with efficiency, particularly in perimeter shooting, a critical aspect of Brooklyn's offensive strategy.

Drew Timme excelled with an impressive 25.3 points per game, marking him as a serious contender for a roster spot. Meanwhile, Drake Powell sat out due to precautionary measures from a pre-draft injury, but is noted as a high-upside prospect.
