With Zaccharie Risacher, Alex Sarr, Donovan Clingan and the rest of the 2024 class gone to the NBA, it’s time to turn our attention to next year’s draft.
The 2025 NBA Draft is 12 months away, but we’ve had our eyes on these players for some time, and released our first mock draft in February.
Over the past several years, we’ve watched the class’s top prospects grow in high school, at the grassroots, at USA Basketball and FIBA events, and in many other settings – and we’ll continue that process this summer and fall.
NBA executives sat alongside us at several of these events and seemed excited about this 2025 draft class, especially at the top where we see quite a few stars with headliners Cooper Flagg, Airious “Ace” Bailey and Dylan Harper.
Beyond these elite prospects, there will be others who will undoubtedly emerge throughout the college ranks and around the world, much like Reed Sheppard, Dalton Knecht, Nikola Topic, Devin Carter, Johnny Furphy, Bub Carrington, Kyshawn George and many others have done it in 2024. This is the fun part of draft projections because you never know when or where players will emerge, which keeps NBA scouts constantly on their guard.

Who will be the first pick in the 2025 draft?
Many have already pegged Flagg as the top pick, and for good reason after an incredible year in which he demolished the Nike EYBL 16U league (averaging 26.8 points, 12.4 rebounds, 5.2 blocks and 4.7 assists per game), led Montverde Academy to a 30-0 record and the national championship, then had stellar performances at the Nike Hoop Summit and Jordan Brand Classic games.
