At the college level, the regular season has come to an end and conference tournaments are underway. That means March Madness has arrived, as the NCAA Tournament approaches and international play comes to a close. As such, the 2025 NBA Draft is just over three months away, and teams around the league are working hard to scout players and refine their boards before the combine and pre-draft workouts take place in May.

While the 2024 NBA Draft lacked superstar talent at the top, the group of players projected to be available in the 2025 NBA Draft is much more talented. This class features Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper in the top two, but there are several other players who could be franchise-altering talents for an NBA team if brought 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.
