It's time for the Sweet 16, which makes this a perfect time to release my first mock draft for the 2025 NBA Draft.
Below is the first round for my mock. You can find this mock, plus a full second round and scouting reports for every single prospect in the 2025 NBA Draft Guide.
Some of the top prospects are still playing, including Duke's Cooper Flagg and Maryland's Derik Queen. Others have seen their seasons end already like Baylor's VJ Edgecombe and Colorado State's Nique Clifford. And then we've got a host of international prospects scattered among the college talents, like Noa Essengue and Nolan Traoré, both from France.
