Nets' Ben Saraf reacts to up-and-down 2025-26 NBA rookie season

Brooklyn Nets rookie guard Ben Saraf was one of a few players on the Nets who had to adjust from playing internationally to playing in the NBA seemingly on the fly. Saraf has had some bumps along the road during his initial season in Brooklyn and he is looking forward to being a better player over the course of this offseason. "I'm very excited for the offseason.

I think it's gonna be a huge summer for me. It's time to work," Saraf said after the Nets' 136-101 loss at the Toronto Raptors on Apr. 12 to end the season.

Saraf had one of his better games of the season as he finished the contest with 15 points, three rebounds, and four assists in 26 minutes on the floor. "I think it's been a tough season for all of us, but I'm proud of all the guys, all the players," Saraf said when asked for his takeaway from this campaign. "Everybody were pretty positive.

I hink we got 1% better every day. This is the goal we set up for ourselves. So, I think we reached our goals.
