Nolan Traore · Few prospects in the 2025 draft class arrived with more to prove than Nolan Traoré. Widely projected as a top-five talent before a difficult season in France softened his stock, Brooklyn still believed enough to call his name 19th overall, stacking him alongside fellow first-rounder Egor Demin in a backcourt built for the long run. On October 22, 2025, the teenage floor general got his first NBA minutes and delivered. He attacks into the paint, draws the defense, gets it back on the right wing and drains his first career three. Then in transition, he pushes pace to the elbow and finds Demin for the finish, his first career assist and the first sign of the two-man chemistry Brooklyn is counting on. Traoré finished his NBA debut with three points, one assist and two steals. · State of Mint · State of Mint
