Brooklyn Nets Unveil ‘SCOUT’ – A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Their 2025 NBA Draft Strategy
The Brooklyn Nets have announced a new nine-part documentary series titled SCOUT, offering fans a rare glimpse into how the team is preparing for the 2025 NBA Draft. With four first-round picks and one second-rounder, the Nets hold the most top-40 draft capital of any franchise heading into June, making this series particularly timely.
The first episode drops Tuesday, May 6th, at noon (EST) on the team’s official YouTube channel. A trailer released Monday teases a polished, all-access production focused on the Nets’ scouting operations rather than the active roster—much like HBO’s Hard Knocks, but for basketball.
Though it won’t feature footage from private draft workouts or disclose the team’s full list of evaluated players, the series promises insider access to front-office meetings and global scouting trips. Appearances include key decision-makers like GM Sean Marks, scouting director B.J. Johnson, head coach Jordi Fernández, and team owner Joe Tsai.
The trailer also hints at international scouting footage from Australia, France, and Spain, with glimpses of players such as Alex Toohey and meetings with Nets scouts abroad. ESPN draft expert Jonathan Givony contributes commentary, praising the team’s thorough process and attention to character as much as talent.
Marks underscores the stakes: “This ain’t coming around again… we’ve got to get it right.” Johnson adds that the draft could shape the franchise’s next decade, emphasizing a rebuild that reflects Brooklyn’s identity and values.
With this rare transparency, the Nets seem committed to re-engaging fans and offering deeper insight into their long-term vision.
