NBA mock drafts 2025: Compare Jonathan Givony, Sam Vecenie, Kevin O’Connor and other expert picks

The first two picks of the 2025 NBA Draft appear firm. The remaining 58? That’s anyone’s guess.

Seventy-two hours after the completion of the 2025 NBA season, a new class of youngsters will make its leap. The top of the draft board features a host of notable names, none more than Cooper Flagg, the presumptive No. 1 pick.

Flagg should fit nicely into a Dallas side still bursting with quality talent, including Anthony Davis, Naji Marshall and Dereck Lively. Assuming Flagg’s able to make a seamless transition to the professional game, the Mavericks should sport one of the league’s better defenses in 2026.

The Spurs, meanwhile, look destined to pick up Rutgers guard Dylan Harper as it looks to round out the Victor Wembanyama-led roster. Harper is just what the doctor order in San Antonio—a gifted ball-handler and playmaker whose left jumper looks well-equipped to present challenges to opposition defenses.

From there, carnage will ensue. The likes of Ace Bailey, Kon Knueppel, Tre Johnson and VJ Edgecombe are still uncertain about their NBA futures at present. That will all change in a few hours.

With that, here’s what you need to know about experts’ takes on potential landing spots for the NBA draft’s biggest names.
