Rounding up final mock draft predictions


play

Draft day has arrived for the NBA.

The 2025 NBA Draft will get underway with its first round on Wednesday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. But before it does, experts around the internet have gotten one last chance to make their mock draft predictions for the draft’s first 30 picks.

Unsurprisingly, Duke’s Cooper Flagg is still the consensus expectation to hear his name called with this year’s No. 1 overall pick. Behind him, Rutgers guard Dylan Harper, son of five-time NBA champion Ron Harper, has solidified a spot as experts’ choice for the No. 2 pick. It’s after those two picks that opinions begin to vary.

Here’s a look at the final predictions for the 2025 NBA Draft from five different draft experts:
