2025 NBA Mock Draft: Projecting second round selections after first night

The first round of the 2025 NBA Draft is in the books, with 30 players realizing the life-long dream of hearing their name called by commissioner Adam Silver. After a successful trial run last year, the gap between the first round and second round will last until the next day again.

Thursday’s festivities will focus on finding the best fit for several high-level prospects still on the board, with multiple contending teams looking to add pieces to their roster before free agency. Trades could also ramp up, as teams look to position themselves to land the player they value most on the board.

After seeing how day one unfolded, here is a look at how the remaining 29 picks could play out as the picks resume. This will be updated as picks are moved leading up to the resumption begins.
