The 2025 NBA Draft tips off Wednesday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, with the Dallas Mavericks set to select No. 1 overall, likely Duke’s Cooper Flagg. San Antonio is expected to take Rutgers guard Dylan Harper at No. 2, but the real intrigue begins at No. 3 with Philadelphia, followed by Charlotte and Utah. The draft continues Thursday with the second round, and the Oklahoma City Thunder hold picks No. 15, No. 24, and No. 44, giving them flexibility to trade up or add to an already loaded roster.
