As the NBA Playoffs approach and the 2025 NBA Draft inches closer, another significant milestone has come and gone. On Monday night, the Florida Gators won the NCAA Championship in a victory over the Houston Cougars, officially ending the college season. Many of the players in the NCAA Tournament, along with other collegiate athletes, international prospects and more will begin ramping up in the coming weeks ahead of June's draft.

The cast of players projected to be available at the top of the 2025 NBA Draft is much more talented than this time last year, with Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper headling this class. Beyond that pair of potential superstars, there are several other players who can really move the needle for an NBA team if selected into the right system.

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