What picks do the Nets have in 2026 NBA Draft after Clippers loss?
The Brooklyn Nets' first-round pick in the 2026 NBA Draft will be determined by the Lottery, but what are their other picks?
The Brooklyn Nets ended the 2025-26 NBA season with a 20-62 record, meaning that they finished the campaign with the third-worst record in the league, behind only the Washington Wizards (17-65) and Indiana Pacers (19-63). If the 2026 NBA Draft was determined by reverse win-loss record, Brooklyn would be assured of the third overall pick, but the Lottery means there will inevitably be some shake-up in the draft order. As it stands as of this writing, the Nets have a 14.
0% chance of getting the first overall pick and have a 52. 1% chance of their pick ending up in the top-4. At the same time, Brooklyn has a 47.
1% chance of their pick ending up somewhere between No. 5 and No. 7 so they will have to prepare for their pick being anywhere between No.
1 and No. 7 depending on how the Lottery transpires. The Nets, like every other team currently in the Lottery, are hoping to get lucky to get the first overall pick so they can select whoever they want, like BYU forward AJ Dybantsa, for example.
