Young Core Development & Schedule Release

Mikel Brown Jr. and Egor Demin lead the young core. Demin's 38.5% 3PT and Minott's emergence are positives; Powell's summer league struggles are a concern. Full 2026-27 schedule released: brutal first 10 games, only 2 national TV games. Nets projected for 22-24 wins, emphasizing patient development. Rotation battles behind the core are key.
