LAS VEGAS — The Nets already have gathered their Las Vegas Summer League squad, including two players who suited up for them last season, two more draftees and assorted hopefuls who are looking to stick one way or another.

The team, coached by Nets assistant Trevor Hendry, will tip off summer league play on Friday against the Cavaliers (8:30 p.m., NBA TV) in what promises to be a fight for two-way spots.

There are a half-dozen players on this roster with NBA experience, including surprising inclusion David Duke Jr., as well as RaiQuan Gray. Summer league veterans Cam Thomas and Day’Ron Sharpe have outgrown Las Vegas, and it appeared fellow third-year pro Duke might be on similarly solid footing.

Appearances were wrong.

Duke spent both of his pro seasons on two-way deals, and after averaging 23.0 points and 8.1 rebounds for Long Island to finish third in G-League MVP voting, he finally got his desired standard deal on April 7.

Though they had been able to make Duke a restricted free agent by tendering him a qualifying offer, the Nets opted against that last week.

They have let him become an unrestricted free agent, and brought him to Las Vegas presumably to fight for a two-way contract.

The day after Duke got his promotion, which vacated a two-way spot, Gray — who spent last season excelling for G-League Long Island — was elevated to a two-year, two-way deal.

He not only made his NBA debut in the Nets’ regular-season finale, but also started against the 76ers and finished with 16 points, nine rebounds and seven assists.

At 6-foot-7, 260 pounds, Gray will provide size and a bruising presence for the Nets’ summer league squad.

Their height and length will come from 6-10 rookie Noah Clowney, taken 21st overall in the NBA draft last month.

Clowney, who will turn 19 on July 14, is the second-youngest player ever drafted by the Nets. Dariq Whitehead, taken one spot later, is the youngest in team history, but the Newark native will sit out summer league recovering from ankle surgery he had last month. Second-round pick Jalen Wilson (6-8, 225 pounds) also will make his debut.

The new collective bargaining agreement, which kicked in last Saturday, gives teams an extra two-way slot so they now can carry three. Summer league is going to be a battle for those spots.

The most experienced contender will be off-guard Armoni Brooks, 25, who has logged 74 NBA appearances for the Rockets and Raptors, including 16 starts.

The most athletic might be speedy point guard Kennedy Chandler, who is generously listed at 6-foot tall, but had the highest vertical jump at the 2022 combine (41 ½ inches) and the biggest contract for any second-round pick that season.

But after struggling with his 3-point shot (14 percent for the Grizzlies and 21 percent in the G-League), he was dropped. The Nets gladly snatched up the 20-year-old project.

Twenty-one-year-old Jordan Hall, 6-8 and 220 pounds, was a two-way player last season with the Spurs, while forward Jamorko Pickett played a dozen games with the Pistons two seasons ago.

Guards Kameron Hankerson and Trey McGowens played last season with G-League Long Island, while rookie guard Matt Lewis from James Madison has impressed scouts.
