2025 NBA mock draft: 59 picks as trade talks heat up for 30 teams - ESPN

With the 2025 NBA draft eight days away (June 25-26, 8 p.m. ET on ABC and ESPN), 30 teams are deep into their predraft process, working out top prospects and narrowing down their draft boards in preparation for the two-round event.

The Dallas Mavericks, owners of the No. 1 pick thanks to winning the draft lottery despite a 1.8% chance of doing so, have no plans to work out any other prospects other than Duke's Cooper Flagg for the top choice. The Mavericks have scheduled a private visit with the national player of the year on Tuesday.

This latest mock draft, which reflects a thorough evaluation of the 2025 class and considers intel from scouts and front office personnel, has a bit of a shake-up from previous ones as half of the top 10 has new players slotted to different teams, including the projection for Rutgers star Ace Bailey.

Sunday's blockbuster trade between the Orlando Magic and Memphis Grizzlies impacted this draft, with the Magic sending the Grizzlies their No. 16 pick among other future picks. Around the league, trade talks are still taking shape as different scenarios are being laid out from NBA decision-makers depending on how the draft evolves.

One such scenario that could have draft ramifications is that NBA teams have been anticipating Kevin Durant would be traded ever since the Phoenix Suns engaged in talks around the February trade deadline. On Saturday night, sources told ESPN's Shams Charania that the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets are Durant's preferred trade destinations.

Amid the leaguewide trade discussions and what we're hearing on how teams are evaluating prospects, here's our latest mock draft of the 59 picks:
