2025 NBA draft combine: Top prospects, highlights, more - ESPN

The NBA's predraft season is in full swing as the league held its draft lottery Monday, with the Dallas Mavericks winning the No. 1 pick, and the chance to select projected top pick Cooper Flagg — an opportunity a source told ESPN Tuesday that the Mavericks intend to see through during the draft on June 25-26 in Brooklyn, New York.

There are more than 100 prospects in Chicago this week for the draft combine and agency pro days.

The G League camp got things going Saturday, and Monday and Tuesday marked the start of drills, measurements, athletic testing and medical examinations at Wintrust Arena and the Marriott Marquis. On Wednesday and Thursday, players will take part in team interviews, media availability and hit the court for scrimmages and games.

All invited players are required to attend and participate in the combine, according to the league's collective bargaining agreement. The NBA might excuse an invited player's attendance or participation at the combine and require the player to complete combine activities at a later date.

ESPN basketball insiders Jonathan Givony, Jeremy Woo, Bobby Marks, Zach Kram and Jeff Borzello recap the biggest takeaways from the combine, assess the prospects who are rising (or potentially falling) and address league reaction and news around the draft.
