Nets' Nolan Traoré makes late change to jersey number before rookie year
Nolan Traoré is set to make the transition from France to the United States next season with the Brooklyn Nets, and the Frenchman will do so with a new jersey number. Traoré wore No. 2 last season with Saint-Quentin and No. 0 for three seasons with Centre Fédéral de Basket-ball. He also donned No. 30 and No. 0 while representing France, most recently in the FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers in November. The 19th pick initially chose to wear No. 19 with the Nets, likely as a nod to his draft selection, but he recently decided to change it to No. 88, according to Etienne Catalan on X. He is set to become the first player in franchise history to wear it. Traoré was the Champions League Best Young Player last season after averaging 12.2 points, 4.7 assists and 1.9 rebounds on 41% shooting from the field in 44 appearances. He registered seven 20-point games, including a 25-point effort on May 9. The 19-year-old played three games with the Nets in the NBA Summer League, averaging 7.3 points, 3.3 rebounds and 2.7 assists on 30.4% shooting from the field. He debuted with 13 points, three rebounds and three assists on July 10. Traoré is among a crowded draft class for the Nets, joining Egor Dёmin (eighth pick), Drake Powell (22nd pick), Ben Saraf (26th pick) and Danny Wolf (27th pick). The Nets became the first team in history to select five players in the first round of the draft.

Nets sign Nolan Traore to rookie deal; No. 19 pick in 2025 NBA Draft
The Brooklyn Nets have been making moves during the 2025 NBA offseason such as bringing in five rookies in the 2025 NBA Draft and trading for forward Michael Porter Jr. Brooklyn hasn't wasted time getting their rookies signed to their rookie-scale contracts prior to the 2025 Las Vegas Summer League including one guy who could be one of the fastest players in the league next season. The Nets announced on Friday that they had finally signed guard Nolan Traore to his rookie contract after having not done so despite the Draft happening last week. Traore, the 19th overall pick in the Draft, had already taken part in the team's Draft press conference on Tuesday and was expected to play for the Nets in Las Vegas prior to officially being signed to Brooklyn's roster. Advertisement The main reason behind the Nets taking so long to sign Traore was due to the fact that he was still under contract with Saint-Quentin, his professional team in France. As Brian Lewis of the New York Post explained over the past few days, the Nets had to buy out the rest of Traore's contract with Saint-Quentin before he was able to officially sign with the Nets. With all of the paperwork taken care of, Traore is officially a member of Brooklyn's roster and he will be looking to prove that he deserves a spot within the point guard rotation on opening night. Traore, 19, is coming off a 2024-25 season with Saint-Quentin in which he averaged 11.6 points, 1.7 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game while shooting 39.2% from the field and 30.4% from three-point land. Traore appears to be the kind of guy that is capable of running an offense as the lead guard with his ability to set up his teammates with easy shots along with being comfortable operating in the pick-and-roll. The flaws that Traore will have to work on, similar to most of Brooklyn's draft class, will be his shooting and his defense at the next level while playing for head coach Jordi Fernandez.

Nets sign 19th overall pick Nolan Traoré to rookie scale contract
French guard Nolan Traoré, the 19th overall pick in the 2025 NBA draft, signed his rookie-scale contract with the Brooklyn Nets on Friday, the team announced. Traoré was the Champions League Best Young Player after averaging 12.2 points, 4.7 assists and 1.9 rebounds in 44 appearances with Saint-Quentin in France. He registered seven 20-point games, including a 25-point effort on May 9. Advertisement He will make $3,811,560 next season, according to Spotrac. The 19-year-old put himself on the radar after a great offseason last year, representing France in the Nike Hoop Summit and FIBA U18 EuroBasket. He averaged 14 points, 9.3 assists and 3.6 rebounds on 42.9% shooting from 3-point range as France finished fifth in Finland. Traoré was highly touted entering the draft because of his potential to be an elite playmaker at the next level. He plays with excellent court vision, often flourishing by running offenses against high-level competition due to his instincts and passing ability. The 6-foot-4 standout is among a crowded draft class for the Nets, joining Egor Demin (eighth pick), Drake Powell (22nd pick), Ben Saraf (26th pick) and Danny Wolf (27th pick). With the exception of Powell, who is pending a trade with Atlanta, they have each signed their contracts. Advertisement Traoré will suit up with the Nets for at least five games in the NBA Summer League, beginning on July 10 against the Oklahoma City Thunder (5:30 p.m. EDT, ESPN2).
