League sources continue to pinpoint Charlotte's Brandon Miller as the top contender to join a club that, to this point, features only Wallace, San Antonio's Victor Wembanyama, Utah's Keyonte George, Golden State's Brandin Podziemski and twins Amen Thompson (Houston) and Ausar Thompson (Detroit).

Brooklyn Nets guard Egor Demin had a solid rookie season where he showed his ability to shoot the three-pointer better than anyone, except the Nets' coaching staff, anticipated coming into last year. Since then, Brooklyn has been hoping to see more from Demin besides his long-range shooting and he looked like he was ready to do that in the summer league, but some around the league are waiting to see it during the regular season.
HoopsHype put out its list of the projected top-27 shooting guards for the upcoming 2026-27 season and Demin did not make the list or the three players that missed the cut, putting him outside the top-30. For context, the three players that just missed the cut for HoopsHype were Shaedon Sharpe of the Portland Trail Blazers, Aaron Wiggins of the Atlanta Hawks, and Brandin Podziemski of the Golden State Warriors.
Demin, 20, is coming off an impressive showing during Brooklyn's summer circuit as he showed his ability to impact the game outside of his shooting ability, which was subpar compared to how he shot the ball last season. In five games played between the California Classic and Las Vegas Summer League, Demin averaged 21.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.8 ****** ists, and 1.8 steals per game while shooting 47.3% from the field and 28.9% from behind the three-point line.
As of this writing, HoopsHype has put out its top-27 projected lists for the point guard and shooting guard spots heading into next season and thus far, Brooklyn's projected starting guards have not made the top-30. Demin seems to be set as the shooting guard while Mikel Brown Jr. will likely be the starting point guard ****** uming that he plays well in camp and the preseason.
With the Nets expected to be one of the worst teams in the league next season, it makes sense to see many around the league doubt how many of the players can step up to beat the odds in an improved Easter Conference. However, it's important to note that this list is a projection so Demin has every chance to come into camp and be the best version of himself that hopefully places him in the top-27 by the time next season is over.

The Golden State Warriors finally moved on from Jonathan **** inga at last February's trade deadline, sending him and Buddy Hield to the Atlanta Hawks for Kristaps Porzingis. Unfortunately for the Warriors, Porzingis wasn't very healthy during his first season with the team. However, in 15 appearances, he did average 16.1 points, 5.3 rebounds, 2.3 **** ists, 1.1 blocks and 0.6 steals. This summer, the Latvian big man agreed to a two-year extension to remain in the Bay Area.
With Jimmy Butler III and Moses Moody injured to begin the 2026-27 season, Golden State fans will be hopeful for Porzingis to step up as a secondary scorer along with Brandin Podziemski and recent No. 11 overall pick Yaxel Lendeborg. Having averaged 18 points per game or more in eight of his 10 NBA seasons, Porzingis is a more than capable scorer when healthy.
Prior to his first full season with the Warriors, take a look at his highlights from last year.

Brandin Podziemski of the Golden State Warriors remains a polarizing NBA player through the first three seasons of his career. Whether it was his comments about wanting to be better than Warriors teammate and future Hall of Famer Stephen Curry, finally hitting 30-points in a game, or his looming contract extension, a lot can be said about the 23-year-old guard for Golden State.
But despite Podziemski showing flashes at times last season when Curry was out with injury, his status with the Warriors is by no means set in stone. Yes, he has proved valuable and was one of only a few players to suit up in all 82 games last season, but amid contract talks and the Warriors' offseason moves, his role and future with the franchise remain up in the air going forward.
Podziemski reportedly wants $22-$24 million per year in his next contract, and despite being eligible to sign a new deal, Golden State's front office has yet to decide on his fate with the franchise.

Golden State guard Brandin Podziemski showcased a new look last week, as a recent photo revealed a new haircut for the former Illinois guard with a short hairstyle. The photo comes not long after his teammate, Jimmy Butler III, revealed a new hairdo as well.
In an injury-riddled 2025-26 campaign for the Warriors last season, Podziemski was the most durable player in Steve Kerr's rotation, playing in all 82 games, averaging 28.5 minutes per contest. In those minutes, Podziemski averaged a career-high 13.8 points to go along with 5.1 rebounds, 3.7 ***** ists and 1.1 steals while shooting 37.1% from 3-point range and 45.5% from the field.

Warriors predicted to steal Celtics' top $112 million trade target in Kristaps Porzingis trade originally appeared on The Sporting News. Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
The Golden State Warriors are unlikely to acquire Anthony Davis from the Washington Wizards after the franchise’s general manager, Will Dawkins, expressed his desire to retain the 10-time All-Star forward.
What does that mean for the Dubs? They may not succeed in crossing off all the boxes necessary to bring LeBron James on board this summer. Could the franchise quickly pivot and steal the Boston Celtics’ top trade target in an attempt to convince James to spend the rest of his career in the Bay?
NBA reporter Evan Sidery thinks so, suggesting that the Dubs could trade Kristaps Porzingis, their NBA champion starting center, for the Boston Celtics’ top $112 million trade target.
“A potential trade framework between the Pelicans and Warriors for Trey Murphy III: Golden State: Murphy, New Orleans (Pelicans): Brandin Podziemski, Kristaps Porzingis, Moses Moody, future draft capital,” Sidery wrote on X/Twitter Thursday.
