The NBA draft lottery won't take place until May 12, but the remaining draft order was officially set in stone on Monday.

The Minnesota Timberwolves will have the No. 17 overall pick in the first round of the 2025 NBA draft. That's the pick that originally belonged to the Detroit Pistons, which the Wolves acquired when they traded Karl-Anthony Towns to the New York Knicks. Their own first-rounder — No. 21 overall — was part of the Rudy Gobert trade and belongs to the Utah Jazz.

The Wolves will also have the top pick in the second round — No. 31 overall — acquired from the Jazz in the D'Angelo Russell trade that brought Mike Conley and Nickeil Alexander-Walker to Minnesota.

Their own second-round pick — No. 51 overall — belongs to the Los Angeles Clippers. Minnesota originally traded that selection to the Houston Rockets as part of a package to acquire the draft rights to Wendell Moore Jr. in the 2022 draft.
