The Brooklyn Nets believe that recently acquired players Josh Minott and Ochai Agbaji can become foundational pieces in the club’s ongoing rebuild.
The two newcomers arrived in low-profile transactions completed by Feb. 8, 2026. Although the deals drew little national attention, team officials expect both athletes to contribute meaningfully as the organization reshapes its roster.
Brooklyn has spent the past seasons shifting focus toward younger talent and greater roster flexibility. By integrating Minott and Agbaji now, the Nets aim to accelerate development while evaluating each player’s fit within the current rotation.
The coaching staff plans to monitor their progress over the remainder of the campaign before determining long-term roles.
