With the 2024 NBA Draft in the rearview mirror, it’s never too early to look toward the 2025 NBA Draft. While this year’s draft class was seen as a down year, next year’s class is projected to be loaded. With that in mind, let’s take a crack at a 2025 NBA Mock Draft.
Since there is no draft order yet obviously, we’re going to use NBA Championship odds via DraftKings Sportsbook for this mock. Just as a reminder, the NBA does use their Draft Lottery system so the final standings don’t necessarily dictate the order. Below is how the NBA Draft Lottery works.

Also, the NBA shares the footage of the lottery drawing after each draft. You can watch the 2023 procedure here.
