The Brooklyn Nets have four first-round picks in the upcoming 2025 NBA Draft and they are hoping that their Lottery pick will give them a player that they can build around for the future. While the eighth overall pick in the Draft is not the outcome that Brooklyn was hoping for, they are still regarded as a team with a bright future ahead in their rebuild.
In their ranking of all 14 Lottery teams in terms of their future, Grant Hughes of Bleacher Report placed the Nets second on the list, behind only the San Antonio Spurs.
