2025 NBA Mock Draft 3.0: Projecting all 59 picks after NCAA Tournament ends

The NCAA Tournament has come and gone with Florida lifting the national title this season, ending the college basketball season. That also means that there are no more chances to evaluate live-game action for most of the NBA Draft prospects hoping to make the professional leap this summer.

The NBA mock draft will continue to shift over the coming months, with offseason workouts and final film breakdowns left to complete before the picks start rolling in. In the meantime, teams must also diagnose the areas they must fill needs.

Entering the offseason, here is the latest projections for what the 2025 NBA Draft could look like. This has all 59 selections based on current standings and team needs.

1. Washington Wizards: Cooper Flagg, Duke

The Washington Wizards are currently leading the race to the bottom, as teams await the NBA Draft lottery to determine which team will get the right to select Cooper Flagg. At this point in the process, his selection at No. 1 is a foregone conclusion for the team picking here.

2. Utah Jazz: Dylan Harper, Rutgers

The Utah Jazz has tanked their way to top lottery odds, hoping to find a future franchise star. The second pick is much more than a consolation prize this year, with Dylan Harper primed to lead the guard position for years to come.

3. Charlotte Hornets: VJ Edgecombe, Baylor

The Charlotte Hornets sit in an interesting position at No. 3, with a much wider selection of players in the tier after the top two go in order. VJ Edgecombe provides the best positional fit with the young core and provides the best chance at fixing the defensive problems.

4. New Orleans Pelicans: Tre Johnson, Texas

The New Orleans Pelicans have been dragged down by injuries and now look to reload before surging back toward a potential playoff spot in 2026. Tre Johnson would provide them the kind of scoring punch at guard that they have lacked recently alongside strong forward play.

5. Philadelphia 76ers: Ace Bailey, Rutgers

The Philadelphia 76ers have seen one of the most disastrous seasons in NBA history play out, with injury problems and bad offseason moves plaguing their result. Ace Bailey provides them a potential get-out-of-jail-free card as a solid scoring wing player who likely benefits from taking a backseat to stars early in his career.

6. Brooklyn Nets: Jeremiah Fears, Oklahoma

The Brooklyn Nets have started the rebuild process this offseason, and have plenty draft capital to invest in long-term projects with big upside. Jeremiah Fears fits the mold perfectly as one of the youngest stars in the class with big flashes of what he can become already on display.

7. Toronto Raptors: Kasparas Jakucionis, Illinois

The Toronto Raptors have become stuck somewhere in the middle of the NBA lottery over the past few years, looking for pieces that can return them to the playoffs. Kasparas Jakucionis is an easy fit for a team that values positional size and length.

8. San Antonio Spurs: Kon Knueppel, Duke

The San Antonio Spurs are building the best roster possible around young star Victor Wembanyama, who looks ready to lead a team to success whenever he gets the right teammates. Kon Knueppel is an easy fit in any system with his floor-spacing and experience beside a star.

9. Houston Rockets*: Khaman Maluach, Duke

The Houston Rockets have broken through as a contender in the NBA playoffs, but also hold draft capital to continue building their pipeline of young players. The ability to add a top center prospect like Khaman Maluach provides a great chance at landing quality depth for years to come.

10. Portland Trail Blazers: Collin Murray-Boyles, South Carolina

The Portland Trail Blazers continue to sort their way through a rebuild, with signs of progress throughout the past season. Adding Collin Murray-Boyles would provide a solid producer at the forward spot with the upside to grow with the rest of the roster.

11. Miami Heat: Asa Newell, Georgia

The Miami Heat have a quick reset to hit this offseason, after transitioning away from Jimmy Butler as their star this year. The potential to add Asa Newell and get big offensive production at the forward spot could help round of the retool.

12. Chicago Bulls: Derik Queen, Maryland

The Chicago Bulls have slowly started to transition from the old roster to some version of the future, and the next step is to reset the frontcourt. Derik Queen provides the kind of offensive firepower that can help carry a team if put in the right spots.

13. Dallas Mavericks: Nolan Traore, France

The Dallas Mavericks made a complete change to the franchise, moving on from Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis during the season. The chance to add a high-potential guard like Nolan Traore could help sure up the present and the future as Kyrie Irving recovers from injury.

14. Atlanta Hawks*: Thomas Sorber, Georgetown 

The Atlanta Hawks have made it clear they plan to rebuild the roster around Trae Young with a particular group of players who fit their mold. Thomas Sorber fits as a good center fit, and could fill the role of outgoing pieces in the frontcourt.
