The 2025 NBA Draft is roughly 12 hours away, as the morning of the event brings energy and excitement to fans and the prospects involved. Despite the draft being so soon, teams around the league are still making final decisions on their boards and even exploring trades to move around in the order. Outside of the first two selections on tonight -- with Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper being the top two picks, respectively -- nothing else feels certain. This could be one of the most unpredictable drafts in the past few years.
