A 6’6, 201-pound guard, Saraf began his professional career in Israel before joining German team Ratiopharm Ulm. He found success in Europe, earning MVP honors in the U18 EuroBasket Tournament. Saraf just turned 19, and the young international prospect has a ton of raw potential. His size gives him the physical traits to play either guard position. He may be best suited to play point guard given his strong playmaking abilities, but he can use his big body to score effectively as a two guard.

After spending two seasons at Yale, Wolf transferred to Michigan for his final collegiate season, where he averaged 13.2 points, 9.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 blocks and one three-pointer per game. Simply put, there aren’t many seven-footers who can pass as well as Wolf. The shot was iffy, and the turnovers were bad, but his vision is unique. There are also questions about how effective he can be defensively, though the shot-blocking numbers were decent. Still, it all comes back to the passing for Wolf. A center that can operate as an offensive hub is a coveted piece in the modern NBA. While the Nets do have some young post players on their roster, Wolf brings a different skill set due to his ability to shoot and serve as a facilitator.

Traore didn’t have a phenomenal season for Saint-Quentin, but he was able to put his strengths on full display. He averaged 12.2 points, 1.9 rebounds and 4.7 assists in 22.7 minutes per game across 44 appearances. The 19-year-old has decent size at 6’4”, and his quickness and playmaking make him an intriguing prospect. He isn’t a great shooter or defender, but he is one of the better playmaking options in this class. The Nets’ plan is to keep Traore and eventually pair him with Egor Demin in the same backcourt.

Mann spent most of his career with the Clippers before being sent to Atlanta at the trade deadline in February. Now, he’ll find a new home in Brooklyn, where he’ll provide perimeter defense and a veteran presence in the locker room on a young team that is looking to establish an identity over the next few seasons. Assuming he isn’t moved again, Mann should play a decent-sized role for the Nets, but he won’t be prioritized over the young players, especially with Brooklyn now having five first-round picks.
