The Nets have 18 players in camp. That’s also the maximum number of players NBA teams can have when the ball goes up on Opening Night. Barring something unexpected (and increasingly unlikely,) the players in camp aren’t fighting so much for roster spots. Instead they’re fighting for types of roster spots.
At the moment, the Nets have 13 players on standard, guaranteed deals; two players on standard non-guaranteed deals (Trendon Watford and Darius Bazley); two players on two-way deals (Jalen Wilson and Armoni Brooks); and one player on an Exhibit 9 (Harry Giles III.) There is also an open two-way spot, the new CBA making provision for a third two-way spot this year.
