This 2025 NBA Mock Draft is updated Thursday, June 27, 2024. Follow me @walterfootball for updates.
16. Indiana Pacers: Boogie Fland, G, Arkansas
Boogie Fland sounds like an enemy from Final Fantasy. He could be added to provide depth behind Tyrese Haliburton.

17. Memphis Grizzlies: Liam McNeeley, SG/SF, Indiana
The Grizzlies have many needs, which makes their reach for Zach Edey very curious. They have to find better wing play.
18. Phoenix Suns: Jaland Lowe, G, Pittsburgh
Here’s some better play for Phoenix’s bench, which is an area that must be repaired.
19. Oklahoma City Thunder: Cam Scott, SG, South Carolina
The Thunder love adding guards to their roster even though they have a billion of them. Perhaps they’ll continue to do so.
20. Golden State Warriors: Jase Richardson, G, Michigan State
Steph Curry doesn’t have much more time remaining in the NBA, so the Warriors may want to find a successor.
21. Los Angeles Clippers: Asa Newell, PF, Georgia
If Paul George leaves, Kawhi Leonard would move to small forward, opening up a need at the four.
22. New Orleans Pelicans: Motiejus Krivas, C, Arizona
The Pelicans may try their hand at another center so that they can make sure they find a solution at the position.
23. Oklahoma City Thunder: William Riley, SG/SF, Illinois
The Thunder can finally move away from adding guards to give themselves a new wing.
24. New York Knicks: Rylan Griffen, SG, Kansas
The Knicks need to find someone besides Jalen Brunson who can create his own shot.
25. Dallas Mavericks: Karter Knox, SF, Arkansas
The Mavericks have two stellar guards, but they’ll need to find upgrades elsewhere.
26. Utah Jazz: Flory Bidunga, C, Kansas
The Jazz don’t have a true center, so they may use one of their 2025 picks to address the position.
27. New York Knicks: Kanaan Carlyle, G, Indiana
Once again, the Knicks will have to do whatever it takes to obtain some offensive play-makers.
28. Orlando Magic: Xavier Booker, PF, Michigan State
The Magic could use one of their two picks to add an insurance policy for Paolo Banchero.
29. Oklahoma City Thunder: Derrion Reed, F, Alabama
Here’s another pick the Thunder could use to obtain some depth at forward.
30. Boston Celtics: K.J. Lewis, SG, Arizona
The Celtics have no needs, so they can draft the best player available with this pick.
