The Long Island Nets are starting to take shape, with eight players currently expected to join the team, including several familiar faces from Brooklyn’s Summer League roster. With training camp approaching, a few roster spots remain open.
The Long Island Nets are starting to get a clearer picture of what their roster could look like heading into the 2026-27 season.
With training camp approaching and the start of the G League season getting closer, Brooklyn has made several moves that point toward the group it could send to Long Island this season.
Right now, the group includes Isaiah Wong, Dwight Murray Jr., DJ Rodman, Aaron Scott, and Nick Pringle, along with two-way players Tyler Bilodeau, Chaney Johnson, and Grant Nelson. That gives Long Island eight players to work with, although there are still several spots left to fill before the roster is finalized.
Wong is one of the more experienced players in the group. The 55th overall pick in the 2023 NBA Draft, he appeared in 21 NBA games with the Indiana Pacers and Charlotte Hornets before spending last season with Gran Canaria in Spain. Wong averaged 14.6 points, 2.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists in 34 Liga ACB games.
Murray brings some familiarity to the organization as well. The former Rider guard went undrafted in 2023 and has spent most of his professional career in the G League. He averaged 8.7 points, 5.0 assists, and 3.4 rebounds in 47 games with the College Park Skyhawks last season.
Murray is also familiar to Nets fans after playing for Brooklyn during Summer League this year.
Scott was on that Summer League roster, too. The 6-foot-7 forward went undrafted in 2025 after playing at North Texas and St. John's before spending last season with the Maine Celtics. He averaged 6.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 40 games.
Rodman gives Long Island another young wing to work with. The 25-year-old, who is the son of Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman, went undrafted out of USC in 2024 and spent last season with the Greensboro Swarm. He averaged 7.2 points and 3.2 rebounds while shooting 46.5% from three-point range.
Pringle has some recent Summer League experience of his own, although it came with Boston rather than Brooklyn. The 6-foot-9 forward played three games for the Celtics in July after finishing his college career at Arkansas. He totaled five points, 10 rebounds, and five assists across 34 Summer League minutes.
Then there are Bilodeau, Johnson and Nelson, who are all on two-way contracts with Brooklyn.
Bilodeau could be an important part of Long Island's frontcourt after being selected No. 43 overall by the Nets in June. The former Wisconsin forward has already spent time around Brooklyn's organization and should have an opportunity to play significant minutes with Long Island.
There is still plenty of work to do before the Long Island roster is complete, but the foundation is starting to come together.
Long Island already has a few players with G League experience, two players who suited up for Brooklyn in Summer League, and a recent second-round pick in Bilodeau. There is a decent mix of familiarity and upside, with more additions likely still on the way.
With training camp right around the corner, the remaining roster spots should become clearer in the coming weeks. For now, though, the Long Island Nets are beginning to put together a group that should be worth keeping an eye on once the season gets underway.
