April is quickly coming to an end, meaning a big month for draft prospects is upcoming. The month of May will bring the NBA Draft Combine as well as the NBA Draft Lottery. As such, boards around the league will begin to pivot at a more rapid rate as players work out for NBA teams.

The talent at the top of the 2025 NBA Draft is much more talented than last year's class, with Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper headlining this group. Beyond that duo of potential stars, there are several other players who will have the chance to move the needle for an NBA team if selected into the right system.

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