While the 2024 NBA Draft just wrapped up yesterday evening, it's never too early to start looking ahead. An even better class of incoming prospects is set to make the jump to the NBA next summer. Unlike the draft that just took place, the 2025 NBA Draft has generational talent at the top and several potential stars.

Leveraging projected NBA win totals odds to generate our draft order, we take a look at fit and projections for next summer's event in this iteration of Draft Digest's 2025 NBA Mock Draft -- even if it is way too early to do so.
