Clowney will be building off a 2023-24 campaign that saw him play more than originally anticipated as he quickly showed that he was important to the success of the Nets. Clowney did not have a good summer league last year, but now that he will be coming in with some NBA experience, he should be more productive this time around and should be able to carry the team with his shooting and rebounding.

Similar to Clowney, Wilson will be coming into this summer league looking to show more of the shotmaking that he teased during the regular season for Brooklyn. Wilson was solid for the Nets last summer as he showed some of the skill set that allowed him to win National Player of the Year at Kansas so he should be better this time around and may be able to show how he contribute next season with more playing time.

Despite going into his second season in the NBA, Whitehead will be playing in his first summer league as he was recovering from offseason foot surgery last summer. Given that Whitehead is listed on the roster, it looks like he has recovered from the stress reaction in his left shin that prematurely ended his rookie season. Assuming that he is close to being fully-healthy, Whitehead should have the chance to show some of the potential that had him regarded as a top-10 pick prior to his foot injuries.

Gilyard split time during the 2023-24 season between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Nets as he was one of the rare players that didn’t catch the injury bug for the Grizzlies before coming to Brooklyn to play a reduced role as point guard depth. With the Nets in the midst of a full-scale rebuild, it’s possible that Gilyard could be vying for playing time during this summer league with the only competition ahead of them being Dennis Schroder and Ben Simmons.

Johnson did not see much time for the Nets during the 2023-24 season as he is still going through his development in the G League. Johnson is still just 22 years old so despite him playing for his third team in as many seasons, his combination of athleticism and shooting still teases a player who could be a significant part of a team’s rotation if he can put it all together.

Martin spent all of his rookie season in the NBA trying to develop while being a member of the New York Knicks and the Nets as part of their respective G League teams. Martin is still just 20 years old so this summer league will be important for him and Brooklyn to see what he looks like against NBA-level competition after spending one year within NBA organizations.

Armstrong is an interesting player as he is a bit small for the NBA level (standing at 6-foot-2, but listed at 180 pounds), but he has a lot of athleticism packed into his frame that makes him a threat to posterize anyone at any given time. Armstrong is not the strongest shooter in the world so he will be looking to prove that he can contribute outside of the paint with some type of reliability if he is going to stick on a roster.

Cheatham has been around for awhile as he made his debut in the NBA during the 2019-20 season with the New Orleans Pelicans. At 28 years old, Cheatham is looking to prove that he is worthy of a spot on an NBA team as he has found himself going from the G League to overseas to the NBL before coming back to the summer league looking for his chance.

Jones will be interesting to see on the NBA stage as he will be making quite the leap from playing Division II basketball at Emmanuel University to playing in the summer league. Given how prolific he was at the collegiate level, Jones should be able to make an impact with his scoring as he learns the NBA game on the fly.

Jones has not seen any action at the NBA level yet so he will be looking to make a name for himself during the summer league. In the G League for New Orleans’ afiliate team, the Birmingham Squadron, Jones put up 9.8 points and 3.9 rebounds per game while shooting 35.4% from the field and 34.0% from three-point range.

Martin spent all of the 2023-24 season in the G League for the Minnesota Timberwolves’ G League afiliate, the Iowa Wolves, and he averaged 17.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game while shooting 45.5% from the field and 30.9% from three-point range. The 51st pick of the 2022 NBA Draft will look to either find a roster spot on the Nets or catch the attention of another team looking for more young talent.

Fordham alum Khalid Moore spent the past season playing in Greece where he averaged 9.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 1.1 steals per game while shooting 51.3% from the field and 31.9% from deep.

Muoka will play for Brooklyn in the summer league after spending time with its G League afiliate, the Long Island Nets. He will most likely be the starting center due to his size and experience from playing in the G League and time will tell if that has prepared him to play on a bigger stage.
