Ben Saraf

Saraf is a pass-first lead guard with a pro pedigree beyond his years — the Israeli playmaker ran point for Ratiopharm Ulm in Germany's top flight before Brooklyn took him 26th in 2025. That European seasoning showed: he stepped straight into a real role, playing just under 21 minutes across 44 games with 11 starts and running the offense at 3.3 assists a night. The rookie honesty is in the shooting splits — 39.6 percent from the field and 21.1 percent from deep — the exact skill that decides whether a table-setting guard becomes a starter or a specialist. What is already there is the feel: change of pace, live-dribble reads, a willingness to hunt the right shot over his own. If the jumper catches up to the vision, the Nets have a rotation piece.
