Nets' Ben Saraf: Doesn't see floor Sunday
Saraf did not see the floor in Sunday's 129-105 loss to the 76ers.
After a tough start to his rookie season, the Nets went in a different direction Sunday -- Tyrese Martin started and saw 27 minutes, though he did have a tough outing. Saraf is currently off the fantasy radar in standard formats.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Demoted from starting unit
Saraf won't start Sunday's game against the 76ers, C.J. Holmes of the New York Daily News reports.
Saraf started at point guard in each of his first five NBA games, but the rookie was held scoreless twice in his last three appearances. Tyrese Martin will start at point guard, with Saraf and fellow rookie Egor Demin competing for backup minutes.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Fails to score in start
Saraf provided zero points (0-2 FG, 0-2 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist over 12 minutes during Wednesday's 117-112 loss to Atlanta.
Saraf started for the fifth straight game to open the season, failing to score for the second time in the past three games. Despite the starting tag, Saraf has been anything but when it comes to production. He has scored a total of 16 points thus far, adding two three-pointers and two steals. He should not be on any rosters outside of very deep formats.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Dishes career-high five assists
Saraf was not able to score (0-4 FG, 0-2 3Pt) in Sunday's 118-107 loss to San Antonio but added five assists, a rebound and a steal across 15 minutes.
Saraf was able to reach an early career high in assists despite not scoring. While he has drawn the start at point guard over fellow rookie Egor Demin, it is worth noting that Demin has played more minutes and scored more points in all three games to start the season thus far.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Looks good in debut
Saraf registered eight points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 4-6 FT), seven rebounds and four assists in 20 minutes during Wednesday's 136-117 loss to Charlotte.
Saraf drew the start at point guard for Opening Night and showcased some solid upside despite some struggles shooting the ball. The bad news for Saraf is that Egor Demin was even more impressive, finishing with 14 points, five rebounds, two assists and one steal in 22 minutes. Although both players are in a heated battle for playing time, it's fair to wonder whether they will get the chance to play alongside each other as well in what will be a developmental season for the team.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Starting vs. Charlotte
Saraf is starting Wednesday's season opener against the Hornets, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
The rookie first-rounder will get the nod over Egor Demin for Opening Night. Saraf and Demin will likely remain in a heated competition for the starting job going forward.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Starting preseason finale
Saraf will start Friday's preseason finale against the Raptors.
Saraf will replace Nolan Traore, who started Brooklyn's previous two preseason games. Fellow rookie Egor Demin is also available to make his preseason debut and will see minutes at point guard.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Eleven dimes off bench Sunday
Saraf scored four points (2-5 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and added 11 assists, four rebounds and a steal in 22 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 111-109 preseason win over the Suns in Macao.
The rookie point guard flashed some impressive distribution skills, as no other player in the game managed more than five assists in the contest. Saraf, the 26th overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, is beginning to make a strong case to be the Opening Night starter at the point while the Nets wait for eighth overall pick Egor Demin (foot) to get healthy.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Active at foul line off bench
Saraf finished with nine points (2-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 5-6 FT), one rebound and one steal in 19 minutes during Friday's preseason loss to the Suns.
The Nets took a look at Nolan Traore in the starting lineup Friday, which meant Saraf moved to the second unit. However, Saraf ended up logging more minutes than Traore, and the former was also more active on the offensive end of the floor. Both rookie guards will likely cede the starting spot once Egor Demin (foot) is ready to suit up, but Traore and Saraf remain in a heated competition for a backup role.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Dishes out six assists Saturday
Saraf supplied nine points (4-6 FG, 1-1 3Pt) and six assists across 18 minutes in Saturday's 123-88 exhibition game win over Hapoel Jerusalem.
Saraf got the starting nod in his preseason debut, dishing out a game-high mark in assists. The 19-year-old has a chance to carve out a role on a rebuilding Nets squad this season, especially if Egor Demin (foot) misses time to start the regular season. The No. 26 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, Saraf averaged 12.3 points, 4.3 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game with Ratiopharm in 2024-25.

Saraf won't play in another game during the Las Vegas Summer League. The 19-year-old finished with 11 points, three rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block in his last outing.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Set to rest Wednesday
Saraf tallied 11 points (4-13 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two steals and one block over 30 minutes in Tuesday's 97-93 Summer League loss to the Knicks. He will not play in Wednesday's Summer League game against the Magic due to rest, Erik Slater of ClutchPoints.com reports.
Saraf reached double figures in scoring Tuesday ahead of a scheduled day off for him Wednesday. The No. 26 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft played for Ratiopharm Ulm in Germany's Bundesliga last season, where he averaged 12.3 points, 4.3 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game.

Nets' Ben Saraf: Heading to Brooklyn
Saraf was selected by the Nets with the No. 26 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.
Saraf makes the move stateside with a lot of international experience, as he spent the 2024-25 season playing at Ratiopharm Ulm in the German Bundesliga. He also led the 2024 FIBA U18 EuroBasket tournament in scoring and was named the MVP. Saraf needs to improve his long-range shooting to carve out a steady role in the NBA, but even in that scenario, he projects as a player who's not likely to make an impact in the rotation in a few more years in a best-case scenario. Saraf averaged 12.3 points, 4.3 assists, 2.6 rebounds and 1.1 steals per game with Ratiopharm in 2024-25. The Nets also selected Egor Demin (No. 8), Nolan Traore (No. 19), Drake Powell (No. 22) and Danny Wolf (No. 27) in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft.
