Yahoo Sports’ Draft Live crew reacts to the Brooklyn Nets’ selection of Ratiopharm Ulm guard Ben Saraf with the 26th pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
The Nets look like they are making this selection with Adam Silver at the podium.

Ben Sarra, oh wow.
Oh, Ben.
No, that’s 3, that’s 3 guys who do similar things.
All playmakers, all playmakers.
It’s kind of crazy because like they have no guards on the roster, so they’re just throwing darts here see like one of these guys has to.
one of these guys better be good.
I’ll tell you what with Sara, he is 6’5 and he wears the number 77, and I, I asked him during his media day Zoom interview that he did people during the international version of the draft combine.
I said, Who do you like, who are the players you like?
And he didn’t.
Luca and I was like, well you were number 77 you’re like they’re gonna be a guy that you model your game after because the way he decelerates in the lane, he is not Luca to be clear, but with Sara, he has a creativity off the dribble, his ability to get into the basket despite not being an elite athlete, his playmaking vision and his size.

He idolizes Luca for a reason and it’s because of his size and because of his creativity and his shooting has improved this past year playing in Germany and with him I’m a fan of him.
I had him ranked 22 on my board.
Uh, I think he’s played well in these playoffs for all they have.
Chance to win the series.
It’s tied 22 games to 2 later this week.
It’s just a matter of what does the jumper become and what does he become defensively, but what does his body become, you know what I mean?
What is he, does he, is he putting on weight or is he putting on Luca weight, you know what I mean?
Like it’s different.

You can put on weight or you can, yeah, no, I, I was actually gonna say this, that this is not only just 3 guards, but 3 guards from Europe, 3 European guards, 3 foreign guards, which is very, very interesting to me.
