The NBA Draft Lottery took place on Monday night, as the first 14 selections of the 2025 NBA Draft were put in order. As such, we now know exactly where Cooper Flagg will begin his NBA career, but now it's all about predicting how the rest of the draft will go.

Outside of Flagg, Dylan Harper appears to be solidified as the No. 2 prospect in this class, but then things get interesting. Now that every team knows exactly where they'll be drafting, boards can start to take their final form over the next six weeks leading up to the draft itself.

Let’s take a look at fit and projections for this upcoming event in this iteration of Draft Digest's 2025 NBA Mock Draft.
