NBA Draft order was set by the NBA Draft Lottery on May 12, 2025, in Chicago, IL. The Dallas Mavericks defied the odds (1.8% chance) and landed the No. 1 pick. Now picks 1-59 are set. The top 14 picks were determined by a lottery process involving the teams that did not make this year's NBA playoffs.

Nembhard is an excellent floor general who excels in pick-and-roll situations and made great progress as a scorer during his senior year.

Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, Tre Johnson and VJ Edgecombe — in some order for some, in that exact order for me — represent the (mostly-static) top-five prospects in the 2025 NBA Draft. But the landscape beyond the top five is far from settled in this class as the 2025 NBA Draft Combine kicks off this week in Chicago (May 11-18),

Wisconsin's John Tonje impressed at the NBA Draft Combine, shooting the fifth-best percentage in drills (72%). Tonje's strong shooting reinforces his potential as a versatile scorer at the professional level. Multiple mock drafts project Tonje as a mid-second-round pick.

Shooting: Williams made 38.7% of his catch-and-shoot 3s in his two years at Nebraska, per Synergy. As a mid-80s percentage guy from the line, his soft touch suggests his 3-pointer could improve further with a higher quality shot diet.

The 2025 NBA Draft will take place on June 25th and 26th at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. The NBA Draft Lottery, a Cooper Flag Sweepstakes this year, is set for Monday night on ESPN.
