2025 NBA mock draft: Projecting all 59 picks post-lottery
The Dallas Mavericks won the 2025 NBA draft lottery Monday, securing the No. 1 pick ahead of the two-day draft on June 25-26 in Brooklyn, New York.
In a shocking twist of fate, the Mavs converted on their 1.8% chance of winning the lottery, giving them the opportunity to select the consensus top player on draft boards for the 2025 class — Duke’s Cooper Flagg. The San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers and Charlotte Hornets were also winners on Monday night, with their picks landing at Nos. 2, 3 and 4, respectively.
The Spurs had just a 6.3% chance at moving up to No. 2 from No. 8 and the 76ers a 10.6% chance at moving to No. 3 from No. 5; their respective jumps created additional chaos after Dallas’ surprise win. The Hornets dropped one spot from their slotted odds at No. 3 entering Monday’s lottery to No. 4 but still made out well after Utah, Washington and New Orleans all slid outside the top four.
Flagg, along with an expected 120 other players including Dylan Harper, Derik Queen and Walter Clayton Jr., is in Chicago this week for the NBA draft combine, G League Elite Camp and agency pro days. Our team of ESPN draft analysts will provide updates from Wintrust Arena as draft prospects participate in drills, measurements, athletic testing, medical examinations, team interviews and 5-on-5 scrimmages.
