With Zachary Reisacher, Alex Sarr, Donovan Clingan and the rest of the Class of 2024 already in the NBA, it’s time to turn our attention to next year’s draft.
The 2025 NBA Draft is still 12 months away, but we’ve been watching these players for some time, posting our first draft picks in February.
Over the past few years, we’ve watched the class’s top talent grow into high school, grassroots, USA Basketball and FIBA tournaments, and many other venues – and we’ll continue that process this summer and fall.
NBA executives have been sitting next to us at many of these events and seem excited about the 2025 draft class, especially at the top where we see a ton of star power with headliners Cooper Flagg, Arius “Ace” Bailey, and Dylan Harper.
Beyond these elite prospects, there will undoubtedly be others who will emerge in the college ranks and around the world, in the same way that Reed Shepard, Dalton Knecht, Nikola Tobik, Devin Carter, Johnny Furphy, Bob Carrington, Keyshawn George and so many others did in 2024. This is the fun part of draft projections as one never knows when or where players will appear, keeping NBA scouts constantly on their toes.

Who will be the first pick in 2025?
Many have already picked Flagg as their top pick, and with good reason after an incredible year in which he tore down the Nike EYBL 16U league (averaging 26.8 points, 12.4 rebounds, 5.2 blocks and 4.7 assists per game), leading Montverde Academy to a first-place finish. . A 30-0 record and a national championship, then had impressive performances in the Nike Hoop Summit and Jordan Brand Classic games.
