The 2025 NBA Draft has arrived. The two-day, two-round affair is kicking off Wednesday night in Brooklyn, and the Dallas Mavericks have the No. 1 overall pick after shockingly winning the Draft Lottery last month. The Mavs, just months after trading away Luka Dončić, are widely expected to take Duke sensation Cooper Flagg with the top pick.
The Spurs, 76ers, Hornets and Jazz round out the top five after a chaotic Draft Lottery six weeks ago. Teams in win-now mode, like the Mavs, Sixers and Spurs, are all at the top, while rebuilding teams like the Hornets, Jazz and Wizards all stumbled.
Picks 15-30 will be made in order of record among the playoff teams. The second round order is determined strictly by record, with a few ties broken based on lottery results. There have been plenty of traded picks in recent days — the Suns moved into the top 10 of this year’s draft when they moved Kevin Durant to the Rockets — and more are likely to be dealt.
2025 NBA Draft order

Second round
| 31 | Minnesota Timberwolves |
| 32 | Boston Celtics |
| 33 | Charlotte Hornets |

| 43 | Utah Jazz |
| 44 | Oklahoma City Thunder |
| 45 | Chicago Bulls |
| 46 | Orlando Magic |
| 47 | Milwaukee Bucks |
| 48 | Memphis Grizzlies |
| 49 | Cleveland Cavaliers |
| 50 | New York Knicks |
| 51 | Los Angeles Clippers |
| 52 | Phoenix Suns |
| 53 | Utah Jazz |
| 54 | Indiana Pacers |
| 55 | Los Angeles Lakers |
| – | New York Knicks (forfeited) |
| 56 | Memphis Grizzlies |
| 57 | Orlando Magic |
| 58 | Cleveland Cavaliers |
| 59 | Houston Rockets |
The draft only has 59 total picks because the New York Knicks forfeited their pick because of a 2022 tampering investigation. That investigation found that the Knicks “violated league rules governing the timing of this season’s free agency discussions” in order to sign Jalen Brunson. Considering the success they’ve had with Brunson, they likely aren’t shedding any tears over the lost pick.
As you surely see, most of the picks in the 2025 NBA Draft have been traded at least once. So, who has the most picks? That would be the Brooklyn Nets, who pick four times in the first round and a fifth time in the second. Utah, with four picks, isn’t far behind. All of this can and almost certainly will change during the draft, when pick trades, especially in the second round, are frequent.
The event is split across two days, with the first round coming at the Barclays Center on June 25 and the second following on June 26.

Monterrey explora chutes de fora da área, domina Urawa Reds e vai às oitavas de final do Mundial de Clubes
Monterrey-MEX chegou para o confronto com o Urawa Reds Diamond-JAP, nesta quarta-feira, com o objetivo único de vencer a partida para se classificar às oitavas de final da Copa do Mundo de Clubes. Embora tivesse uma zaga forte, com a presença do capitão Sérgio Ramos, a equipe teve muita dificuldade de propor jogo nas partidas anteriores do grupo E, contra o River Plate-ARG e Inter de Milão-ITA. No entanto, os mexicanos chegaram com outra atitude na última rodada da primeira fase e deram um "chocolate" nos japoneses, vencendo a partida por 4 a 0. Agora será rival do Borussia Dortmund-ALE na fase de mata-mata. Após quase fazer o gol em dois lances perigosos no início e na metade do primeiro tempo, a equipe mexicana viu o Urawa crescer em campo, no entanto, em um lance individual do meia Nelson Deossa, […]
Insistente, Inter de Milão aproveita expulsão no River, vence e será rival do Fluminense no Mundial; leia análise
Dois jogos com histórias bem diferentes chacoalharam a classificação do grupo E em sua última rodada na fase de grupos na Copa do Mundo de Clubes. O River Plate, que começou a rodada liderando o grupo, acabou eliminado após derrota por 2 a 0 para a então segunda colocada Inter de Milão no Lumen Field, em Seattle. Esposito abriu o placar em um segundo tempo bem mais movimentado que o primeiro. O zagueiro Bastoni aumentou já nos acréscimos. Com a vitória, os italianos avançaram em primeiro e serão a pedreira pela frente do Fluminense nas oitavas de final, na próxima segunda-feira, em Charlotte. Quem acabou passando em segundo foi o Monterrey. Os mexicanos não tomaram conhecimento do Urawa Red Diamonds-JAP e fizeram um 3 a 0 (que aumentaria para 4 a 0) sem qualquer espaço para reação. Avançaram com cinco […]
Chaos reigns at Browns: two of their QBs now reportedly to be traded before deadline
As summer approaches, the Cleveland Browns are entering training camp stocked with four quarterbacks: Kenny Pickett, Joe Flacco,Shedeur Sanders and Dillon Gabriel. But with only two or three typically staying, the front office is preparing to potentially trade or release at least one veteran before the November trade deadline, sources report.According to NFL Network's Gregg Rosenthal and ESPN's Peter Schrager, Kenny Pickett is the most likely to depart before August ends. Rosenthal asserted:"The Browns appear to want Kenny Pickett to win the job. I doubt it will happen."Should Joe Flacco secure the Week 1 starter role, Pickett would be the prime candidate to be moved for another team's backup quarterback spot.Yet Cleveland insiders caution the team may hold onto all four through early November unless presented with an offer too good to refuse. Browns GM Andrew Berry has said all four […]
Cooper Flagg is not Luka Doncic but he is compared to these NBA superstars
After an unlikely scenario where the Dallas Mavericks won the NBA Draft Lottery to secure the first overall pick, they officially selected Cooper Flagg, marking the first time since Mark Aguirre in 1981 that the franchise chose in the top spot. This put an end to a month of speculation about possibly trading the pick, something that was never on the table.Cooper Flagg to be the youngest first overall pick since LeBron JamesNow, they'll boast a generational talent who will aim to return the franchise to the highest competitive level alongside elite players like Anthony Davis or Kyrie Irving.A prospect from another planet, second only to Victor WembanyamaIf Victor Wembanyama is a phenomenon, Cooper Flagg isn't far behind. We could say he's the second-best prospect of the last 10 years, behind the Frenchman.Flagg, a former Duke Blue Devils star, has […]

Getty Images The Duke Blue Devils have parlayed a historic season into a historic 2025 NBA Draft with three top-10 picks in Wednesday night's first round.Cooper Flagg, as has been expected for months, went first overall to the Dallas Mavericks. Kon Knueppel went fourth overall to the Charlotte Hornets, and Khaman Maluach went 10th overall to the Phoenix Suns.

2025 NBA Draft grades: Live pick-by-pick analysis, updates, draft order for all 30 Round 1 selections
The 2025 NBA Draft has finally arrived, and there is plenty of intrigue to wade through during Round 1. After Duke's Cooper Flagg (Dallas Mavericks) and Rutgers' Dylan Harper (San Antonio Spurs) were selected with the first two picks, there was a dramatic pause until Baylor's VJ Edgecombe was chosen No. 3 overall by the Philadelphia 76ers.The fun began from there as analysts and fans alike murmured about the future of another Rutgers star, Ace Bailey. Though his pre-draft process was filled with controversy -- largely his unwillingness to participate in workouts with individual teams — the Utah Jazz were not deterred. Bailey went off the board at No. 5 with the Blue Devils and Scarlet Knights combining for four of the draft's first five picks.There is a long ways to go until Round 1 wraps up Wednesday night, and […]
