noti.group’s Brian Lewis looks at some of the biggest storylines to watch heading into Nets training camp:
Best battle
The Nets drafted three point guards in the first round and traded for another taken No. 15 in 2023, but the most likely contenders to start are Nolan Traoré vs. Egor Dëmin. Though Traoré has to play on the ball, Dëmin could end up on the wing.
Story to watch develop
Expect more roster reshuffling. The Nets are already crowded and are still looking to add Fanbo Zeng, Ricky Council IV, Grant Nelson and maybe a salary dump. They have to be at 21 players for the start of camp, and get down to 18 by Opening Night — 15 standard deals and three two-ways.
Coach’s toughest challenge
Easing all these kids into the NBA simultaneously. With three teenagers, five first-round picks and eight players 21 or younger (Kobe Bufkin turns 22 on Sunday) coach Jordi Fernandez is going to feel like a grade school teacher on the first day of class.
