This 2025 NBA Mock Draft is updated Thursday, June 27, 2024. Follow me @walterfootball for updates.
1.
Brooklyn Nets: Cooper Flagg, PF, Duke 
It’s nice to see a non-Frenchman atop the NBA Draft for once. The Nets need to draft the top play-maker in this class, as they have nothing left on their barren roster.

2.
Detroit Pistons: Ace Bailey, SF, Rutgers 
The Pistons continue to need lots of help. One area is a two guard, as Detroit sorely needs a better backcourt mate for Cade Cunningham. They could use another wing to pair with Ausar Thompson as well.
3.
Washington Bullets: Dylan Harper, G, Rutgers
The Bullets need help everywhere, and that includes their backcourt. A new point guard must be acquired.
4.
Toronto Raptors: Hugo Gonzalez, SG, Spain 
The Raptors won’t go very far with Gary Trent starting at the two. An upgrade is desperately needed.
5.
Portland Trailblazers: VJ Edgecombe, G, Baylor 
The Blazers found their center of the future in Donovan Clingan. Now, they can draft a guard for the long haul.
6.
Utah Jazz: Tre Johnson, SG, Texas 
The Jazz could stand to add a backcourt mate to pair with Keyonte George.
7.
Charlotte Hornets: Khaman Maluach, C, Duke
The Hornets could have drafted Donovan Clingan to satisfy their center need. Perhaps they’ll address the position with this pick.
8.
Chicago Bulls: Michael Ruzic, F, Croatia 
The Bulls may lose DeMar DeRozan to free agency. If so, they’ll need to find a replacement.
9.
San Antonio Spurs: Ian Jackson, SG, North Carolina 
There’s no telling what will happen with Gregg Popovich and his deteriorating mental state, but perhaps he’ll want to pair Stephon Castle with another guard.
10.
San Antonio Spurs: Drake Powell, F, North Carolina
San Antonio can now move toward addressing its wings, which happen to be a weak spot as well.
11.
Houston Rockets: Egor Demin, F, Russia 
The Rockets could stand to find an upgrade over Dillon Brooks, which they could possibly do with this selection.
12.
Orlando Magic: Jalil Bethea, G, Miami 
The Magic may want to find another guard to pair with Jalen Suggs.
13.
Atlanta Hawks: Noa Essengue, F, France 
The Hawks will need to find a wing to find some competition for Bogdan Bogdanovic.
14.
New Orleans Pelicans: Nolan Traore, G, France
The Pelicans may lose Brandon Ingram to free agency, so they’ll need to find a replacement.
15.
Utah Jazz: Isaiah Evans, SF, Duke
The Jazz already found a two guard with their previous pick. They can now address the three, which is a weakness as well.

Sorry for cutting this into two halves; I’ve received complaints about load times and putting the mock draft on two pages saves bandwidth.
