Everyone has an opinion at the 2025 NBA Draft. Our reaction and judgment were too early, but are there any responsibility?
Of course, it was an interesting practice making mock draft, but we wanted to be right too. With that in mind, I have compiled several simulation drafts to keep who is the most accurate, but can also create simulation draft estimates.
Here is a list of the top 32 bits based on their average selection on eight media. The eight sockets used are ESPN, Track and Field, Ringtone, Draftroom, CBS, Yahoo and Tank Marathon.
As expected, the Dallas Mavericks are expected to pick Cooper Flagg, while the San Antonio Spurs appear to be planning to pick Dylan Harper.
Most drafts ranked VJ Edgecombe third. This is a big change compared to a month ago, when Ace Bailey seemed to be the lock in the position. In fact, even Kon Knueppel seems to have gone past Bailey and become the Charlotte Hornets’ attraction.
When you see (+) or (-) next to the player name, it refers to how many spots they have risen or fallen compared to last week. So no one has improved more than Joan Beringer (21-16). No one fell to Villam McNeeley (15-21 years old) and Jase Richardson (19-25th).
After the draft, we will see which players are out of or below the general consensus being included in the draft. I also included 31st and 32nd place based on average, just in case Noah Penda and Ben Saraf enter the first round.
Remember that our own Ben Pfeifer has his own mock draft that you can track as well.
NBA mock draft estimates
There are some things to keep in mind when looking at this table. The average of several simulation drafts is designed to show this exactly, not more. This final average does not take into account which team is at that location and what these specific needs may be. It also doesn’t weigh their majority choices.
Carter Bryant is a great example. The mock draft estimated put him in ninth place, but he did not expect any channel to be ninth.
Seeing different socket options also allows us to evaluate the player’s range. As a result, we know how to expect specific expectations.
Noa Essengue is a very wide range of people. He expects CBS to be as low as No. 23, but ESPN is also as high as ninth. Cedric Coward, on the other hand, is expected to be between the 14th and 17th, so maybe we should be a little surprised if he lands outside that.
Finally, note the age listed for the player. They are based on age for most of the 2025-26 NBA season.
