With their fourth first-round pick of the night, the Nets have selected Israeli guard Ben Saraf at No. 26 overall.

Saraf is still playing for Ratiopharm Ulm in Germany as they vie for a Basketball Bundesliga title this week against Bayern Munich. He recently scored 20 points with four assists and four rebounds in a win against Munich.

The Israeli-born Saraf averaged 12.8 points and 4.6 assists in 24.4 minutes per game with Ulm this season on .419/.222/.780 shooting. He measured in at 6-foot-6 barefoot with a 6-foot-8.75 wingspan, giving him ideal size for a guard. He also averaged 2.5 turnovers per game.

How Saraf will fit with Egor Demin, whom the Nets selected with the eighth pick, remains to be seen, as both big guards struggle to shoot from deep, as does Nolan Traore, who the Nets took with the 19th pick.

The Nets, who kept all five of their picks in the 2025 draft, clearly prioritized an intersection of size and skill when it came to their drafting strategy. It’s not clear if Saraf will be stashed overseas, but according to Jonathan Givony on ESPN’s broadcast, the Nets are considering signing him immediately.
