Nets projected to take G Dylan Mingo third overall in 2027 NBA Draft
The Brooklyn Nets are still in the early stages of their latest rebuild and they are hoping that one of their five picks in the 2025 NBA Draft will hit. Brooklyn general manager Sean Marks most likely has his eyes set on the 2026 NBA Draft, but if the Nets' rebuild doesn't get them their franchise player in that class, they could look towards the 2027 class. Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman recently put out his mock for the 2027 NBA Draft, a class that will mostly consist of players heading into their senior year of high school. Most of the attention related to the draft will be on AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, and Cameron Boozer, three players expected to be the top of the 2026 class. However, Brooklyn could potentially select another guard of the future in 2027 in Dylan Mingo. "The NBPA Top 100 Camp MVP, Dylan Mingo has been on a gradual, upward trajectory," Wasserman wrote when discussing who the Nets could take with the third overall pick in the 2027 Draft. "And with his outstanding positional, unteachable driving/scoring talent and defensive tools, improving correctable skills like shooting could unlock top-five type of upside in 2027." According to ESPN, Mingo has a 94 scout grade and is considered to be the eighth-best player in his class as described by being ranked eighth in ESPN's top-100. With the 2027 class still two years away from being drafted into the NBA, it will be interesting how the class will change between now and when that draft finally comes around. Mingo could be the right choice for the Nets depending on how players like Egor Demin play in the next two seasons. One interesting tidbit about Brooklyn's 2027 first-round pick is that the Houston Rockets have swap rights so there is a possibility that the Nets would try to avoid giving the Rockets a premium pick. If Houston is still a good team by 2027, they will only be able to add another impact young player to their roster while Brooklyn would be stuck with a player that isn't expected to be as valuable. That's something for Marks to consider along the way.
