NBA Execs TORCH The Brooklyn Nets for Egor Demin Pick: “Biggest Reach of the Draft!”
Heat. Hey, heat. Hey, heat. If you ask NBA executives, the Brooklyn Nets had the biggest reach in the NBA draft by selecting guard Jagor Deman with the number eight overall pick, but they also had one of the biggest steals in the draft by selecting power forward and center Danny Wolf with the number 27 overall pick. Did NBA executives give a fair assessment of the Brooklyn Nets 2025 draft class? That’s today’s topic. Hello everyone and welcome back here right into the Brooklyn boys show. Appreciate you all tuning in. Make sure you smash that like button and hit subscribe. It is completely free and it helps us grow significantly right here on the show. Questions, comments, thoughts, throw those in the chat. We’re going to get to those to load all those up in the chat. Appreciate all your support as always. He’s Josh Wiver. I’m your host Connor Long. Appreciate you joining us as always. Josh, draft season we could officially put in the rear view mirror. Summer summer summer league, you could say the same for that as well. Preseason is next up on the horizon. A lot to process obviously from the draft. That’s what we’ll be talking about today. How you doing? Doing pretty well. Uh excited to get out on the links tomorrow and play some golf, but for now, ready to recap a little Nets draft and get into player assessment here as feels like the season’s right around the corner. Absolutely. And I think I want to start with the biggest news that came out of this article from ESPN’s Jeremy Woo, who does a great job. He pulled 20 anonymous NBA executives and compiled an overall ranking in multiple categories for select teams throughout the NBA draft. And I want to start with the biggest news probably from this article, which was Jay Gorgeman being named the biggest reach in the NBA draft along with another Nets draft selection, Drake Powell receiving votes for that category as well. Josh, I want to start with Zman. Do you think calling him the biggest reach among any player in this year’s draft is a fair assessment? Just about. I really didn’t like this pick when it got in. I know we were both watching it live together. I think we both were not happy with this pick when it first got in. And you know, Dilman’s a guy that while he can be a primary ball handler, he’ll have to develop as a shooter. And he brings a lot of question marks to the table. and among guys in this draft. Obviously, this was a very loaded draft class compared to other years, there was a lot of depth in this class. And the Nets had five first round picks. So, if this is a guy that they felt that they really needed, I don’t think that pick number eight was the spot to get him at, I think you could have easily gotten him later in the draft, maybe even at 19, but if not, possibly training up into the late teens. But eight feels like a big time reach here for Domen. And that’s what an NBA executive, an Eastern Conference executive to be specific, pointed out to Jeremy Woo there saying, quote, “Even if you believe in Gioan as an NBA starting point guard, and I don’t, it seems like he would have been getable at the end of the lottery or even later.” So, it does appear even if the Nets were enamored with him, they wanted to select him no matter what, they could have waited a few picks. Look, I think I the way I view Jayorg Gman overall as a player is someone who is if he’s able to develop into a spot-up shooter and prove that the three-point percentage, shoot the three ball at a 35 36% clip, which I think he certainly can, I think he’s going to be a very productive point guard in the NBA level. Obviously, when you pair that with his incredible playmaking ability, but if he’s not able to shoot, he’s shooting the three ball under 30% low 30s like we did see out of him in college and he’s just a playmaker, I think he’s a an end to the rotation piece. I think a lot of it is going to hinge on how he’s able to adapt to the NBA from a shooting standpoint, from a shooting perspective. I think that’s going to determine how long his career is, how impactful he is throughout his NBA career. I will say I think you can make a case to put uh Yang Hansen ahead of him here, who was selected with the 16th overall pick by the Portland Trailblazers. That’s someone I viewed and I think a ton of people viewed as a consensus second round pick entering the draft. He ultimately climbs his way into literally the first half of the first round. So, I think you can make a case there as well. Same goes for Colin Murray Boils with the Raptors. But I always love looking at these surveys and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN does the same exact thing for the NFL because there’s all these different names that get thrown in there. For example, like Thomas Sorber, I think, was an incredible pick by the Thunder. He’s dubbed as a reach. Same goes for Derek Queen and the New Orleans Pelicans. Same goes with Noah Si and the Chicago Bulls. And I think it’s not fair to put Drake Powell on this list as well. Drake Powell is a versatile defender who could defend multiple positions for you, was one of the most lethal catch and shoot threats in the country, and he slots in in the in the in the category of receiving votes here on this list. Josh, do you think it’s fair to to kind of consider Drake Powell as a reach in this year’s draft? I see the upside with Drake Powell at, you know, at 22, it’s an interesting prospect because you have two more picks um at at 26 and 27. So that’s only what four or five draft picks away. So I think you probably could have gotten there. I don’t hate that the Nets went on the safe side there just knowing that they had and they were going to end up make making three picks within the next seven or so all within each other. So if they got if they thought Drake Powell was their guy, they need to add something on the defensive end uh and he can develop as a shooter. I have no problem with taking him at 22. But a name I would throw out there, at least to me, is Ben Saraf. like that was a confusing pick for me, especially after Yordi took two guards. So, I would maybe even consider him as one of the reaches of this draft. But I guess none of the ESPN execs agree with me there. I think he’s more of a poor fit, not so much a reach. That’s the way I view Saraf. More of a poor team fit overall compared to him being a a reach per se and the Nets reaching significantly on his value. That’s the way I’d kind of assess the Nets pick of Ben Zaraf. But that’s certainly a polarizing one of the Nets fan base and a a puzzling pick. That being the Ben Saraf draft pick we’re talking about right here on the show. Someone who is well represented by Brooklyn in these polls surprisingly given the trend of Jory and and Drake Powell to start off this polling from NBA executives was Danny Wolf. He was named a steel. He received votes as the biggest steel in the NBA draft. the top three there you see Carter Bryant uh who was selected by the Spurs with the number 14 overall pick. Joanne Buringer who was selected by the Timberwolves with the number 17 overall pick and Casper as Yaka Chonz who was selected number 20th overall by the Miami Heat. A lot of names received votes here. Walt Walter Clayton Jr. Trey Johnson, Colin Murray Boils, uh Asa Noel, Noah Penda, Danny Wolf, Brooklyn Nets’s very own Danny Wolf, common Malawatch, Cedric Coward, Liam McNeely, Chaz Laneir, Carter Bryant, and Nick Clifford among all the names that receives votes. Obviously have the top three, Carter Bryant, Yoan Buringer, Casper, Zakonis, and then all those names who ultimately do receive votes here in this category of this poll. It’s so interesting. Colin Murray Bole received votes as the biggest reach in the draft and now he receives votes as the biggest steel as well. I like Danny Wolf. I think Danny Wolf has the potential to make a huge impact on the on this at the NBA level overall. I think he’s a guy though who’s still viewed as a project and he’s 21 years old. He’s not young. I think he needs a he’s not old, but he’s also, you know, not 19 18 years old compared to a ton of these international products and a a handful of the Nets draft picks this year. I think he’s a guy who’s still viewed as a project. I think is going to spend prominent time on Long Island this year. Is the upside there? Absolutely. Because if he’s able to, you know, take that same shooting ability, same shooting prowess that he showed at Michigan and bring that into the NBA, I think he’s going to be a very solid player. I think a lot of his success though ultimately hinges on how he’s able to adapt defensively, how he fits in the NBA from a defensive standpoint. I think the upside is there with Danny Wolf, but I think it’s going to take some time. Key word you said there to me was potential and that’s exactly what sticks out when you’re talking about a guy like Wolf. You’re right. If he can be a force to be reckoned with in the paint, use that 611 7 foot body, snag rebounds, post up on some of the bigger guys in the league. A lot of times when you see the Nets play these these teams with huge centers. I’m talking Joic Embiid onto the Koopo. It feels like they have no answer when those guys drive downhill against them. Hopefully Wolfe can be uh a sort of a a big body in the paint who can match up with some other bigs well and then especially if he can get shooting from three-point range which we saw sparks of flashes at times at the University of Michigan and he’s a interesting 7 foot guy but he moves like a guard. So his play style in the NBA will that really translate? Will coach Jordy Fernandez try and limit what he’s able to do and try and keep him in the paint almost like what he does with Nick Claxton and not allow him to be uh to be a ball handler? That is something that we will have to see. But you’re right, Connor. If Danny Wolf can tap into his potential, he absolutely could be the biggest deal of this draft, but the fact that he received one vote doesn’t do much for me right now. You know, got to see what he does at the next level. I don’t think he could be the biggest steal in this draft. I don’t I don’t think he’s going to be a steal. I think that he’s I I don’t view him as a steal. I view him as a guy who if he hits his ceiling, that’s kind of like what was expected. I don’t think he has this surprising next level in him that I think a lot of people are saying he does. I’m comparing steel and value are like the two like I think he could provide tremendous value as the third to last pick in the first round if he can hit that ceiling. What’s his role on this team this year though? Like you look at all these guys, even these names who received votes, they’re all going to have significant roles in my opinion on the teams that they go into with the exception of obviously a few names here on this list. So what’s Danny Wolf’s impact? I view him as a guy who spends most of the year on Long Island and continues to develop a more NBA ready skill set. Yep. He’s a developmental project. Agree. Which is something you don’t want to see out of a 21-year-old. It’d be more promising if you saw that out of a a 19year-old and 18y old and some of the ages of players that the Nets did select this year. I don’t know if that’s so much of a promising sign right out of the gate from Danny Wolf who’s 21 and people are considering him a steal right out of the right right from the get-go. Ton of guys went one and done this year. He was one of them that spent multiple years in college. So, you’re right. He’s already behind the eight-ball in terms of how short his leash is in the NBA, how much time he actually has because, you know, the closer you are to your prime and the less chances people are going to be willing to give you. Overall grade on this draft, Josh, I would say C minus. Why C minus? Uh, first of all, I really didn’t like the Domen pick. Obviously, I talked about a little bit. I thought it was a big time reach. And then you overall get three guys who are basically the same overall player who are, yes, can be primary ball handlers. No, we don’t know what they can do as true shooters and basically as just copies of each other at the guard spot. I thought they would want more big man depth, but they didn’t. and uh and they wait until their last pick out of five to to go and get a center forward player. I mean, what do you mean by more big man depth? This team already had, you know, obviously Nick Claxton, they have no interest in moving. Dron Sharp still on the roster, Noah Clowny still on the roster. How much depth do you think like how much how much depth could you have asked them to have when they already have three NBA caliber players? One who’s a defensive player, the your caliber player when he’s at his peak on his ro on the roster. I mean, I guess what I would say is when you’re taking five draft selections and four of them are relatively playing the same role and then you’re I don’t think it’s fair to say four of them are playing the same role. I think they all offer something different. I understand three of them are guards, but Jagor Gilman is a facilitator. He’s a playmaker. Nolan Trayore is your is your shooter. He’s your spot-up shooter who can shoot for you from beyond the arc. He could drive into the lane. He could finish, you know, with with some aggression at the rim. And then Ben Saraf is more of the the speed, the agility guy who can burn past defenders. I don’t think I don’t know if it’s fair to say they drafted four of the same players. And then when you have Drake Powell as the guy who could defend multiple positions for you as a catch and shoot threat from beyond the ark and I think has the potential to become one of the best defenders in the league. You’re right. I just didn’t like the fact that they I mean this whole problem is avoided if you don’t take all five selections. I really I really didn’t like that fact. I thought they should have either traded up, packaged a couple deals, or got got a player from the outside. But I certainly didn’t think they should take five first round picks. And when you do, inevitably, you are going to end up with people with the same position and and it’s just creates a sort of backlog and guys are going to end up on Long Island, even if maybe the front office isn’t what they envisioned them.

Josh, anything else draft related that you want to touch on? Anyone? I know you didn’t watch that much summer league, but anyone just kind of following along from summer league that impressed you overall among these rookies? Which rookie impressed you most? Yeah. Um, you’re right. I didn’t watch much summer league, but um, rookie that impressed me the most would probably be Troyori. I saw a couple of his um of his highlights and I I I saw him hit a couple threes and he was scrappy looking for the ball a lot. Um as for any other thoughts on the draft, I had wished they went Malawatch at eight, but that’s a story for another time. Connor, your best rookie. Jagor impressed me the most among all these different players. Trayor was certainly the early standout and I think o all around when it comes to just overall best rookie who performed the best among all those games I have to go with Nolan. But I I I said Gman here because he shot the three ball 44% during the Washington Wizards game. His three ball began to develop. He started to see more promising shots from him from beyond the arc. Improved shot selection. Wasn’t missing as much. Was more efficient from inside the field. I have to go with Yagore. And I think for him it’s all about shot form. It’s about him being able to develop that three-point shot. So, when it comes to the NBA regular season, he’s able to be a threat from beyond the arc as well, coupled with his playmaking ability, obviously. So, got to go Jagor there. Do you have someone that least impressed you for some doesn’t even have to be a rookie, but uh Grant Nelson probably. I thought he was a guy who could come and make a big impact. Uh obviously big man. Uh played last year at Alabama. He’s someone who could have got drafted but chose to sign with the Nets after the draft. And I thought he was a real candidate to get a two-way spot. Could he still earn that two-way spot? Absolutely. But the signs from him right out of the gate got into foul trouble. Turned the ball over a time. Was not a plus defender. Struggled offensively. Not too promising. So probably Grant Nelson for me. To me it was probably Tosan Noma. What did he shoot? Like two of 15 on six points. One of those games. It was one of those games, but then he had 13 one night. Then he had 15. I don’t think I he was solid outside of that. I think he impressed. I I don’t know if he impressed, but he certainly was the biggest disappointment in my opinion. He pieced together some nice outings. Okay. Yes.

We’ll start off with Marlene who says, “What’s the chances? What are what are the chances that Jordy starts Nolan and Jaor?” Josh, I think that Jaor is going to get the start at the one at least to begin the season. Um, for Treyori, that’s an interesting one. I don’t think he has a role in this team because I think that uh um I think that MPJ is going to be getting more minutes at the forward and and as that as that shooting Well, no one’s a shooting. Nolan’s a shooting guard. MPJ’s a power forward. So, they’re two completely different positions. Yeah, I would go Cam Thomas at my two assuming he’s back and Jagor. Um, and then the three probably man uh clocks at the front then and then Zire over man. That’s a tough one. I’ll see in the preseason. That’ll probably decide it for me. MPJ at the four and then Clax at the five. But I would say definitely Jagor is going to start. Uh Triayori I would think would come off the bench to begin the season depending on the preseason, but probably off the bench. Him starting depends on what the Nets ultimately decide to do with Cam Thomas. If they don’t pay him, I think Nolan Treyori will be the starting shooting guard, but if he does, if the Nets do pay him and he does come back on obviously a completely new contract extension, he would obviously be the starting shooting guard on this team. So interesting comment there. I don’t know if he doesn’t have a role. I wouldn’t go that far, Josh. I think he definitely I mean in the story line I I think he does off the bench too. Absolutely. Like you you you take someone with a number 19 overall pick. You you you ultimately do hope that they find their way into the rotation. I think he should have no problem getting rotational minutes. Interesting that you put Terrence Man who’s 28 years old over Zire Williams who played on this team last year was a pillar of versatility and grit. I find that interesting. Yeah, it all it all depends on the summer. I’d probably go man because I think he’s on the last year of an expiring deal. Um, two years left. Two years left. Okay, so never mind on that. But yeah, just more NBA experience and I don’t know. I guess he want I guess we would want vets on the court, but maybe MPJ brings that so you can go Zire, but I love Zire’s athleticism. So, we’ll have to see. Wouldn’t you think that Jordy would favor someone who’s been in the building before, played was healthy for most of the year for him last year, played every position on the floor? Um, honestly, no. I I think that I think that he’s going to try and give whoever he thinks has the best chance to win and not favor guys whether they were here or not last year. Favor Keon Johnson. This team favors a lot of players. I don’t have I don’t understand why they wouldn’t want to put someone on the floor in Zer Williams who averaged, you know, 10 points a game last year, got you five rebounds a night, was able to playmake to a degree for you, was a threat defensively, could defend multiple positions. I don’t see a world why this team wouldn’t want Zire Williams on the floor starting over someone who’s 28 years old and Terren man who’s just a salary dump uh or for this team. Can Terren man be an end of the rotation player? I’ absolutely I’d rather see Dariq Whitehead though play over Terren Man. I’d ra certainly rather see Zar Williams play over Terren Man. I kind of put Terren Man in that Keon Johnson range of guys I don’t want to see too much this season. You say salary dump, but like he’s not a bad overall player and he’s like and he can bring you positives defensively, too. What was his contract again? I got to check this out. Terrence Van’s exact contract. The contract might have been bad, but like he he’s on the team now, so you usually threeear 47 million deal. Terrence Van is not worth 47. No doubt he’s not. No doubt he’s not worth that, but he can still bring you a positive while even though the main reason was addition starter. What? He could be an end of the rotation player, not a starter. I disagree. I think he could I think he could be 25 minutes a night guy. Why would you want to see him play over Zier Williams or Dory Whitehead? Um, someone who’s not going to be here in two years and is about to turn 29 years old. I don’t know. I would just I would just say whoever gives you the best chance of winning. So, if that’s if that’s So, it’s like why do you want to see him though? like why why what why why do you want to see Terrence man play 25 minutes a night for this team? I don’t know. It all depends on the preseason how well he plays there. But I preseason you won’t see a guy like Terrence man in the preseason. You won’t see a lot of these guys in the preseason. The rotational players are going to be the ones who do not play a ton in the preseason. These are going to be guys fighting for the final two-way spot. I anticipate a lot of players from Long Island we’ll see in the preseason. So I wouldn’t put too much stock into the preseason. Okay. Appreciate you all tuning in again right here on the Brooklyn Boys show. Let’s see. Uh Bball Ball see thinks Jaor was fine at top 10. The issue is drafting other two point two other point guards and a passing big in in in passing big in three of the other four first round picks. Two of those should have gone to Kaulk and Fleming. Thoughts there? Yeah, to me Jagor was not fine in the top 10. I didn’t think that I I thought there was you could have gotten much better guys. a sang or Malawatch better value there at number eight. But the fact that they did take a guard. Yeah. Okay. If that’s really your guy, sure. Let’s let’s play out the scenario where Jaguar and Deon’s not a reach there and you have your guard. And then you’re you’re right. Um uh Psycho Blue that a after you take Jaigore, then you you don’t go out and take Ben Sarov. It’s just like where does he play a role? If if you picked Jagor and you had that much confidence in him, I I would see no reason why you then go out and and spend that late first on Saraf. So I agree with you there. I would have loved Rashir Fleming. I would have loved Thomas Sorba. I would have loved a bunch of those different names. Obviously you mentioned on that list there. Bottom line is the draft’s over. We’re going to have to live with it. I think Jagor can be well worth the pick if he’s able to develop a shot. I just think right now he’s pretty much a pure playmaker who can’t spot up shoot for you. That’s the way I think and Jaor’s assessed throughout the league and I think that’s fair enough. Psycho Blue also says Jaor and Ben have too much overlap in my opinion. Ben Saraf um I agree. That’s that’s exactly what I was going to say. I actually think they’re two completely different players. No, they’re not. They’re the same height. They’re they’re both pass first. Ben Ben Zaraf I would not call a pass first guard at all. He uses his speed. He drives to the rim. Jaor isn’t nearly as aggressive as Ben Saraf is. I view Jagor as more of the playmaker who’s gonna pass before he shoots. I wouldn’t say the same about Ben Saraf. I think they’re two different players in their own different ways. So Ben So you would say Ben Sarro is just going to shoot more than Jaor. Uh use more physicality, drive more. He’s small. He’s three in smaller than Jaor as well. I think they’re different players in multiple different facets. Yeah, I I disagree. I think they’re both going to be like, you know, facilitators on the court and less of like that that um like a three-point shooting specialist. Well, not I didn’t say either one of them. I think it’s going to be a three-point shooting specialist. Jaor doesn’t like to use his size. Jaggore doesn’t like to drive to the rim. Jaor likes to pass. Joerger is a better passer than Ben. Jagger is taller than Ben. More efficient rebounder, more efficient shooting splits. I think they’re very different, right? But when you look at it from the grand grand scheme of the draft, like they’re like two of the most similar prospects that there were. I think Ben Sarafa and Nolan Treyora are way more similar than um Jaguar and Ben are. Yeah, all all three of them have similarities. I mean, I I guess that comparison, but I would probably say Jaguar and Ben to agree with Psycho Blue. Alex Small thoughts on Meu. Jet question coming in here. Love arm on Meu. Uh number seven overall pick. You hope he’s your bookend tackle of the future. Quinnon Williams actually just spoke about him yesterday. For all the Jet fans out there, praising him, praising his work ethic. He’s only going to get better going up against someone like Will McDonald in practice who’s a double digit sack guy. Obviously, he’s going to have to face a lot of very, very talented pass rushers this season with TJ Watt being a tough challenge in week one. Then Micah Parson’s back again at home in week five, but I I’m certainly a fan of the Arman memba pick solidifying the trenches. So, appreciate the Jet question there, Alec. For all the Jet fans out there, subscribe to my Jets channel. NY Flight Jettock. We do daily shows over there as well. Uh we’re on tonight at 900 PM. So like right around after the show will wrap up.

We have a ton of fun guests coming up that I um that I have booked up for us. So, stay tuned for that. Appreciate your support as always here on the show. Marlene, I think the Nets believe that they have their future one through three. Nolan at the one, uh Drake at the two, and Yaore at the three. I’ve seen a lot of talk about the Nets having being interested in moving Yaore over to the three. Do you think that makes sense, Josh? I I would say no because basically the primary skill set he’s got developed now is being a high-end passer and is be is having that court vision on him. So moving him to the small forward, not having him take the ball up the court is kind of uh is kind of eliminating one of the reasons why you pick him and it’s uh it’s basically overshadowing one of his best traits. So, uh, that would be a little confusing and and if Shawn Mars did want to do that, it it begs the question then why not get him or why get him that high if if you want to overshadow one of, if not his best trait. I think that stems from Nolan Trayor standing out in the summer league and him potentially being viewed as the team’s primary ball handler. I’d still prioritize the use of Jagor over Trayor as the main ball handler. That’s the way I personally view it. I think Jaor is going to be the starting one. I think what what Brooklyn will ultimately do, uh, Marlene, if all three of these guys are in the starting lineup, I think it would look like Jagger at the one, uh, Nolan at the two, and then Drake at the three. I think that’s the most realistic scenario from what the Nets would like to do from the Nets standpoint. Uh, if you ultimately do have all three of those guys in a starting lineup at some point. So, that’s the way I I personally do. Appreciate the comment there. Yeah, I want to see Jaore facilitate this offense. I want to see him command this offense. And I think that’s where I think that’s where his his best strength comes from. I agree. I think Powell at the three makes more sense considering, you know, he’s that defensive-minded kind of guy and and I think and I think Trey would work well as this team shooting guard.
