The Brooklyn Nets stunned the league by selecting Mikel Brown Jr. with the sixth overall pick, positioning him as the cornerstone of their rebuild.

Meanwhile, roster moves are unfolding: Ochai Agbaji and Jalen Wilson become free agents, while Malachi Smith secures a non-guaranteed deal, and Tyler Bilodeau, Chaney Johnson, and Grant Nelson lock in two-way contracts.
