HoopsHype has updated the list of the top prospects for the 2025 NBA Draft by compiling 10 mock drafts from ESPN, CBS Sports, The Athletic, Bleacher Report, Babcock Hoops, USA Today, NBAdraft.net, SB Nation and FTW.
This year’s NBA draft cycle is starting to heat up, which has led to excitement among fans and teams, as this class of prospects isn’t as milquetoast as last year’s.
Duke’s wunderkind Cooper Flagg, widely heralded as the undisputed projected No. 1 pick, suffered an ankle sprain during the ACC Tournament quarterfinal game against Georgia Tech. Rutgers’ duo of Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey, alongside Baylor’s VJ Edgecombe, round out the consensus locks to go Top 5 this June.
Players like Michigan State’s Jase Richardson (son of Jason Richardson), Michigan’s Danny Wolf, Auburn’s Johni Broome, Colorado State’s Nique Clifford, and others will use the NCAA Tournament to boost their draft stocks.
Internationally, names like Joan Beringer, Johann Gruenloh, Bogoljub Markovic, Sergio De Larrea, and Noah Penda are ones to keep watching, as they’ve been steadily climbing draft boards.
We are seeing a trend of players who possess pass-dribble-shoot skill sets or specialists like rim-running, shot-blocking bigs – climbing boards, as the NBA is prioritizing positionless, versatile players to match the fast-paced style of play that requires athletes to cover more ground than they used to.
We spoke with several executives, coaches and scouts for their insight on the prospects for the fourth edition of this year’s aggregate mock draft.
