2025 NBA Mock Draft Roundups - By Prospect

Leading up to the 2025 NBA Draft, we will track where several top prospects appear in recent NBA mock drafts.

Cooper Flagg NBA Mock Draft Roundup

Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Cooper Flagg has appeared:

For the Win — Bryan Kalbrosky

Round 1, Pick 1 — Washington Wizards

If there was any doubt about whether or not Cooper Flagg deserves the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, he silenced it. Flagg recently recorded 42 points, 7 assists, and 6 rebounds versus Notre Dame. He leads all Duke players in points, rebounds, assists, blocks, and steals per game this season. Since 2009, the only freshmen with a higher box plus-minus are Zion Williamson and Anthony Davis.

CBS Sports — Adam Finkelstein

Round 1, Pick 1 — Washington Wizards

Flagg continues to get better with each passing month for Duke and seems to have gained some separation from the field in the last few weeks because of it. Flagg's versatility and the totality of his overall impact have been off the charts, and if the shooting and self-creation keep trending in the right direction, he could end up being the runaway favorite for the No. 1 pick.

Dylan Harper NBA Mock Draft Roundup

Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Dylan Harper has appeared:

For the Win — Bryan Kalbrosky

Round 1, Pick 2 — Utah Jazz

Dylan Harper caught a nasty flu recently that limited his minutes and productivity, even losing nine pounds. Harper has an elite ability to create his own shot especially at the rim, per CBB Analytics, and he is still leading all freshmen in unassisted field goals per game by a wide margin this season. He has a strong case as the most intriguing offensive prospect in this class.

CBS Sports — Adam Finkelstein

Round 1, Pick 2 — New Orleans Pelicans

He was playing at an incredibly high level at the end of the calendar year but has recently been hampered by illness. The key with Harper is the shooting. If he's making 3-pointers, it unlocks so much else because of his size, strength, length and natural instincts with the ball in his hands — and he was 15 for 32 from behind the arc in December.

Ace Bailey NBA Mock Draft Roundup

Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Ace Bailey has appeared:

For the Win — Bryan Kalbrosky

Round 1, Pick 5 — Toronto Raptors

Ace Bailey is a complicated prospect with tremendous upside who is likely to have scouts split in their evaluation process. While he is 6-foot-10, there are some concerns about his shot selection and his passing. Bailey, regardless, is one of the most productive mid-range shooters among all recent prospects. But there are real reasons for evaluators to have concerns about his touch as he is shooting fairly poorly from the free-throw line.

CBS Sports — Adam Finkelstein

Round 1, Pick 3 — Toronto Raptors

There's an increasingly wide range of opinions on Bailey, which is somewhat ironic considering he fits the athletic jumbo wing archetype that is in such high demand and also has some real shot-making to match. The concerns, which are the same as they were in high school, are based on his shot selection, decision-making, lack of rim pressure for such an athlete, and overall inconsistency.

VJ Edgecombe NBA Mock Draft Roundup

Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which VJ Edgecombe has appeared:

For the Win — Bryan Kalbrosky

Round 1, Pick 4 — Charlotte Hornets

V.J. Edgecombe is an exciting two-way prospect who can contribute on both ends of the floor. He would join Tari Eason, Matisse Thybulle, and Gary Payton II as the only high-major NCAA men's basketball players since 2009 to record both a steal percentage above 4.5 percent and block percentage 3.5 percent, per Bart Torvik. As a scorer, meanwhile, Edgecombe and Flagg are currently the only high-major freshmen with both 15 dunks and 3-pointers each so far this season.

CBS Sports — Adam Finkelstein

Round 1, Pick 5 — Utah Jazz

This is where it gets very uncertain. Edgecombe hasn't played like the top-five prospect advertised just yet, but his athleticism, competitiveness and defensive upside are undeniable. He's 9 for 21 from behind the arc in his last five games. If he can keep that pace and eliminate some of those offensive no-show nights (four points vs. Gonzaga, two vs. New Orleans, four vs. Iowa State), he could appeal to someone like Danny Ainge.

Egor Demin NBA Mock Draft Roundup

Here are some of the latest mock drafts in which Egor Demin has appeared:

For the Win — Bryan Kalbrosky

Round 1, Pick 20 — Utah Jazz (via MIN)

Russia's Egor Demin was initially having one of the strongest freshman campaigns of anyone in the nation for BYU. But per our research via Bart Torvik, he currently has the largest difference between his box plus-minus on the season (5.9) relative to his performance against top-100 competition (-2.0) among all of the prospects we have projected in the first round. His size and playmaking still makes him intriguing, but perhaps another year in school could help his overall trajectory.

CBS Sports — Adam Finkelstein

Round 1, Pick 7 — Portland Trail Blazers

The biggest hiccup in Portland's rebuilding plans is that Scoot Henderson hasn't been anywhere near as good as expected through the first season-and-a-half. Picking Demin, who looks like the best passer in the draft but has inconsistent shooting and individual offense, gives them a contingency plan while simultaneously allowing them a look at playing the two lead guards together.
