The NBA Finals are entering the final stretch, meaning the 2025 NBA Draft is quickly approaching. In less than two weeks, every team around the league will evaluate trades, roster moves and draft selections to improve their rosters for the future.
The pool of talent has shrunk, as 50 early entry candidates — and more recently international prospects — have withdrawn from the draft process. Even then, this is still a very talented class with Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper as the two headliners at the top. From there, several other players have star potential, and there’s plenty of depth in this class overall.
Let’s take a look at fit and projections for this upcoming event in this iteration of Draft Digest’s 2025 NBA Mock Draft.
