The stage is officially set for the 2025 NBA Draft, with all 59 selections now locked in following the conclusion of the lottery and regular season.
This year’s lottery, conducted on May 12, determined the first 14 picks, with the Dallas Mavericks emerging as the big winners and claiming the No. 1 overall pick.
The rest of the draft order was established using reverse regular season standings, as is customary for both the remainder of the first round and the entire second round.
Each of the league’s 30 teams holds one pick per round, barring trades, forfeitures, or swaps. While the New York Knicks had their second-round selection rescinded, the rest of the board remains intact.
