The Brooklyn Nets are just a few days away from the fate of the franchise being decided by where the ping-pong balls fall during the 2025 NBA Draft Lottery on Monday. During the event, teams normally send someone to represent their organization and in Brooklyn's case, they will be sending the man that will be coaching the player that the team takes with their Lottery pick.
The Nets announced on X that head coach Jordi Fernandez will be representing the franchise at the NBA Draft Lottery, implying that the franchise is hoping that he can bring the team luck in the event. Brooklyn heads into the Lottery sixth in the standings, but their pick could be somewhere different depending on the kind of luck that they get on Monday.
Heading into the Lottery, the Nets have a 9.0% chance of getting the first overall pick, granting them the ability to select Duke forward Cooper Flagg to give the team their first franchise player during this rebuild. More to the point, Brooklyn has a 37.2% chance of their pick landing in the top-4, meaning that they have a good chance of moving up from the sixth spot based on the odds.
As of this writing, the Nets are able to land picks 1-4 and 6-10 so the worst pick they can get is 10th, which would be a disappointment for a team that was hoping to be able to draft a blue-chip prospect in this Draft. In terms of percentages, the most likely outcome for Brooklyn is getting a top-4 pick, followed by a 29.7% chance of landing the seventh overall pick and a 20.6% chance of getting the eighth pick.
Technically, the most likely event to happen for the Nets is to get a pick somewhere between No. 7 and No. 8, given that the combined percentages of that happening is 50.3%. Either way, with Brooklyn hoping that they can get the highest pick possible, the franchise is looking for Fernandez to give the team the kind of luck that it hasn't had in quite some time since moving from New Jersey.
