Nets bringing in Alabama F Grant Nelson to compete for Two-Way spot
The Brooklyn Nets came away from the 2025 NBA Draft with five players that should have plenty of opportunities to see the floor for a rebuilding Nets team. Brooklyn appeared to have taken all of the players that they wanted as they traded their No. 36 overall pick to the Phoenix Suns, but it seems like the Nets are still looking to add more talent to the roster. The Nets will be bringing in Alabama forward Grant Nelson to training camp to compete for a Two-Way spot on the team, according to HoopsHype NBA insider Michael Scotto. Heading into next season, Brooklyn has just one player slated for a Two-Way contract, forward Tosan Evbuomwan, so the Nets still have two other Two-Way spots to fill along the way. Advertisement Nelson, 23, enters the NBA after spending the past two seasons at Alabama, the last of which being when he averaged 11.5 points, 7.6 rebounds, 1.6 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game while shooting 52.2% from the field and 25.8% from three-point range. Nelson, listed at 6-foot-10 and 230 pounds, went undrafted during the 2025 Draft, but it's unclear whether Brooklyn is formally signing him as an undrafted free-agent. While Nelson has a solid track record as a college player, he will be sifting through quite the roster crunch for a Nets team that will have to make plenty of tough decisions before the beginning of the 2025-26 campaign. As of this writing, Brooklyn has 15 players under contract, including the five players taken in the first round of the Draft, but that figure doesn't include recent trade acquisition Terance Mann or any of the seven free-agents. With 23 players connected to the Nets at this time combined with the fact that Brooklyn would have to cut the roster down to 18 (15 standard contracts and three Two-Way contracts), Nelson could find himself in an uphill battle. However, if Nelson is able to prove himself in training camp, and potentially in Summer League, he may be able to beat the odds.

Five things to know about Adou Thiero
The Los Angeles Lakers acquired a potential gem in the 2025 NBA Draft by making a couple of moves on Thursday. They first traded their No. 55 pick and cash to the Chicago Bulls for the No. 45 pick, and they later sent that No. 45 selection for the draft rights to Adou Thiero, who was the No. 36 pick. Thiero is an intriguing prospect who could have plenty of upside. He stands 6-feet-8 and weighs 220 pounds, and he showed a good amount of improvement over his three years of college basketball. He spent his first two years at the University of Kentucky and then transferred to the University of Arkansas for this past season, and he was coached by John Calipari during all three campaigns. Advertisement There's obviously no guarantee he will pan out, but he seems to be someone who has the tools to become a very useful NBA rotation player. Here are five notable facts about Thiero. He's very athletic Thiero is said to be one of the most athletic players in this year's draft class. At the draft combine, his wingspan was measured at seven feet and his standing reach came in at 8-feet-8.5. While his vertical leap was measured at 41 inches during the 2022 Pro Day, there's a video of him training with Jason Jerome, the director of performance training for the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins, to reach a 46-inch vertical. He can not only throw down big dunks, both in transition and in a halfcourt setting, but he's also explosive, and those tools help him out on both ends of the floor. He's also a lob threat, which means he could be a good fit alongside Luka Doncic. Advertisement The Lakers badly need athleticism and speed at the guard and wing positions, and Thiero could help in that regard. Both of his parents were basketball players A look at Thiero's parents reveals where he got at least some of his ability on the hardwood. Both his father and mother played competitive basketball, and in fact, his father also played for Calipari at the University of Memphis back in the mid-2000s. His mother played college basketball at Oklahoma City University and was even taken by the WNBA's Washington Mystics in the third round of the 2006 draft, even though she never played in a regular season or postseason game with them. Advertisement Both of Thiero's parents are originally from the African nation of Mali. After he was born in Salt Lake City, he spent some time in Mali, starting when he was two months old, before returning to the States at the age of three. He went to Quaker Valley High School in Leetsdale, Pa., which is just minutes outside of Pittsburgh. He gets to the free throw line Thiero attacks the basket relentlessly, but not all players who do so also get to the free throw line frequently. He averaged 15.1 points and 6.5 free throw attempts a game this past season, and his free throw attempt rate of 69.2% is rather high. He does have some work to do at making foul shots — he shot only 68.6% from the charity stripe during the 2024-25 season, although he was at 80% the previous season. Advertisement During the regular season, the Lakers were fourth in free throw attempts per game. He should feel at home with them in that regard. He has defensive potential One thing L.A. needs is perimeter defenders, and Thiero, at the very least, has the potential to become a good one. His speed, quickness and overall athleticism give him the potential to effectively guard players at multiple positions. He averaged 1.6 steals and 0.7 blocks this past season for the Razorbacks. Scouts are concerned about his lack of defensive discipline and about his focus on that end of the floor. But the potential for him to be a serious disruptor in that category is definitely there. He's an underrated rebounder One weakness the Lakers have that doesn't get talked about enough is defensive rebounding, and it got exposed in the first round of the playoffs against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Even before Anthony Davis was sent away in the trade that brought them Luka Doncic, they had trouble limiting opponents to one shot. Advertisement Some of that trouble had to do with their inability to secure rebounds outside of the paint, which falls on their guards and wings. Thiero is a pretty good rebounder on both ends of the floor for a small forward, and he registered 5.8 boards a game during the 2024-25 season.
