As the NBA Playoffs unfold, the 2025 NBA Draft continues to inch closer. Only four teams remain at this point, but all 30 are spending a tremendous amount of time evaluating this class of talent to make the right decisions in late June.

At this point, Cooper Flagg is the best prospect in this class, and Dylan Harper is the clear No. 2 prospect, but from there, things get interesting. Now that every team knows exactly where they'll be drafting, draft boards can start to take their final form over the few weeks leading up to the draft, which is in less than a month.

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