Brooklyn Nets Eye Promising Talent in Javon Small

As the NBA Draft looms just a week away, the Brooklyn Nets find themselves in a uniquely advantageous position, poised to leverage their draft strategy more effectively than any other team in the league. With expectations for immediate success tempered, the Nets have the opportunity to invest in young prospects, nurturing them into future stars. Among these potential gems is Javon Small, a guard from West Virginia University, whose recent performances have caught the attention of scouts and analysts alike.

Javon Small’s ascent in collegiate basketball has been nothing short of remarkable. Last season, he earned First-team All-Big 12 honors, showcasing his skills by averaging an impressive 18.6 points, 5.6 assists, and 4.1 rebounds per game. His scoring and playmaking abilities positioned him among the top three in the conference, underscoring his impact on the court. Notably, Small delivered standout performances against formidable opponents, including a thrilling 27-point game in a victory over No. 2 Iowa State and a well-rounded 13-point, 11-rebound, and six-assist effort against No. 7 Kansas.

Darian DeVries, West Virginia’s head coach, lauded Small’s exceptional season, emphasizing the rarity of such achievements in his extensive coaching career. “I just hope people really appreciate the season he had because I’ve been doing this a long time, there’s only two or three guys that I can probably name that had a season like this,” DeVries remarked. His praise reflects not only Small’s talent but also the high expectations surrounding his future in professional basketball.

A Journey Through College Basketball

Before his standout season at West Virginia, Small honed his skills at Oklahoma State University and East Carolina University. During his junior year at Oklahoma State, he earned All-Big 12 Honorable Mention, averaging 15.1 points, 4.7 rebounds, and 4.1 assists. This diverse collegiate experience has equipped him with a well-rounded skill set, making him a versatile asset for any team.

Draft Projections and Player Analysis

As the draft approaches, analysts are taking a closer look at Small’s potential. In the latest mock draft projections, he is anticipated to be selected in the second round, with the 48th overall pick. Kevin O’Connor, an analyst, describes Small as an undersized guard who compensates for his stature with exceptional athleticism and tenacity. “Small plays bigger than his body thanks to his excellent athleticism and gritty nature,” O’Connor noted. His reputation as a reliable shooter and a capable lead guard highlights his readiness to contribute at the next level, even as concerns about his size linger.

Beyond his scoring and playmaking, Small’s versatility is further demonstrated by his contributions on the boards and defensively. He ranked among the top five on his team in rebounds and steals per game, a testament to his all-around game. DeVries attributes Small’s impressive rebounding ability to a combination of determination and athleticism. “It’s a little bit of want-to, but he has good size and athleticism… He can challenge balls up in the air,” DeVries explained. This relentless pursuit of the ball, coupled with his speed, allows Small to track down rebounds effectively.

A Bright Future Ahead

As the Brooklyn Nets prepare for the draft, the potential selection of Javon Small represents not just a strategic choice but a commitment to cultivating talent that can grow within their system. His journey through college basketball, marked by impressive performances and a strong work ethic, positions him as a player with a bright future ahead. The Nets, with their unique draft leverage, may very well find in Small a hidden gem—one who can evolve into a significant contributor in the years to come.
