The 2025 NBA Draft is just a few days away, and the NBA Finals will come to a close today. The Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers will clash tonight, with only one team entering draft week with the ultimate prize.

Once Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper are selected with the first two picks on Wednesday night, the rest of the draft is fairly uncertain. There's quality talent all throughout this class, but where each player falls outside of the top two prospects is where things get interesting.

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