The 2025 NBA Draft is next week, and we're entering the final weekend before the event. The NBA Finals are set to have Game 7 on Sunday, with the draft following that significant event on Wednesday shortly after.

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 will be fascinating.

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