We spend a lot of time following all of the top NBA Draft analysts for months as they post and tweet about intel and update their big boards and mock drafts leading up to draft day. But once that day comes and goes, it’s easy to shift focus to how the rookies will fit on their new rosters, summer league, and the next draft cycle, so, as always, I have compiled all of the final mock drafts so we can compare them to the actual 2025 draft order. See my full mock draft comparison for June featuring 18 total mock drafts (all link references below).
Here is the actual 2025 NBA Draft pick order versus the final mock drafts from Bleacher Report’s Jonathan Wasserman, ESPN’s Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony, SB Nation’s Ricky O’Donnell, Yahoo Sports’s Kevin O’Connor, The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie, the No Ceilings crew, The Ringer’s J. Kyle Mann and Danny Chau, Tankathon, and our own Hoops Distillery picks:
| ACTUAL DRAFT | The Athletic (6/25) | B/R (6/24) | ESPN (6/24) | The Ringer (6/24) | Yahoo Sports (6/24) | SB Nation (6/23) | Tankathon (6/19) |

[NBA Draft]: 2025 Mock Draft Comparison, June (updated 6/25)

6/25 update: Updated picks added for Sam Vecenie (The Athletic).
6/24 update: One more update to add from J. Kyle Mann and Danny Chau (The Ringer). They have Derik Queen going #8 to the Nets and Noa Essengue going at #10 to the Suns.
Also, added updated picks from Jonathan Wasserman (Bleacher Report), Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo (ESPN), Kevin O’Connor (Yahoo Sports).
6/23 update: Congrats to the Thunder on winning it all! What an amazing roster building success story! We also saw the much anticipated Kevin Durant trade finally go come to fruition. Not only is he now a Rocket, the #10 pick is going back to the Suns.
Post-NBA Finals, we have updated mock drafts from Ricky O’Donnell (SB Nation), Tankathon, Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo (ESPN), Jonathan Wasserman (Bleacher Report), Sam Vecenie (The Athletic), and Kevin O’Connor (Yahoo Sports). For those keep track, we now have 17 total mock drafts to compare for the month of June!
What have we learned from this recent batch of mocks:
- VJ Edgecombe seems to have officially jumped Tre Johnson, Kon Knueppel, and Ace Bailey as most likely to head to the 76ers at #3.
- Cedric Coward moved up to late lottery level across most boards .
- The Suns now have #10 but seem to have more trades up their sleeves. Logic would say they may go for a big to balance their roster after confusing everyone with their glut of SG’s and wings. Derik Queen and Collin Murray Boyles seem to be the most likely candidates we’re seeing.
- Ace Bailey to the Wizards seems to be the best guess after his ill-advised ‘i’m not gonna work out for anyone’ narrative this week.
- Joan Berringer looks like he’s moved into the late lottery and could be the second center off the board after Khaman Maluach.
- Liam McNeeley seems to be gaining traction once again after being underrated post-injury at UCONN and should be firmly in the mix as high as mid-first round to the Grizzlies (who now desperately need more shooting).
Unsolicited opinion time:
I do not understand how the masses have Kasparas Jakucionis going higher than Nolan Traore.For anyone who missed it as they were studying up, please watch his performance from the Nike Hoops Summit–or even better the full game tape. What he can do with talented, athletic wings and five-out spacing is very Lonzo Ball-like which is a rare commodity in this day and age. We talk about many prospects and what skill they’ll bring to the table in day one, and for him, it’s a no-brainer: pace, leadership, and play-making. In stark contrast, Jakucionis (who is also very talented) is a much less athletic, score-first point guard who is not a high percentage shooter and also very turnover prone at this stage of his developmental curve. Traore’s upside is sky-high and he should be in the top 10 of all big boards, in my opinion. Some of these mocks have Jackucionis, Egor Demin, and Walter Clayton ALL above Traore. This is madness! I have said all along that I really like the point guards in this draft, and I support them all….but I can’t unsee Traore’s Nike Hoops Summit domination.
6/17 update: Lots of updates coming, so stay tuned! We have new picks today from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo (ESPN), as well as Jonathan Wasserman (Bleacher Report). Both of these mocks include Memphis taking over the #16 pick from the Magic from the Desmond Bane trade over the weekend.
Shams Charania (ESPN) reported another trade today between the Pacers and Pelicans which mock drafts won’t reflect until later this week or next:
Finally, we are now up to 19 Green Room invites as per Jonathan Givony (ESPN). And sure enough, my personal fav, Nolan Traore will be on of them ;D!
With Draft Day less than two weeks away, we’ve rounded up nine of the latest mock drafts for you, including picks from Sam Vecenie (The Athletic), Ricky O’Donnell (SB Nation), Kevin O’Connor (Yahoo Sports), Jonathan Wasserman (Bleacher Report), Tankathon, J.

[NBA Draft]: 2025 Big Board Comparison, May (updated 5/30)
Coming in hot with this month’s big board comparison, as June is just around the corner. Luckily, we have a fresh big board update from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo (ESPN) as of this morning!

5/30 update: I added two more mock drafts to close the month after updates from Jonathan Wasserman (Bleacher Report) and Kevin O’Connor (Yahoo Sports). We now have 20 total mock draft to compare for the month of May!
KOC has a ton of movement on his mock, with Cedric Coward all the way up at #9 to Toronto, Liam McNeeley going at #11 to Portland, and Drake Powell at #12 to Chicago. This also resulted in him moving Maluach at #14 to San Antonio, Jakucionis at #17 to Minnesota, and Queen at #18 to Washington.
5/23 update: We have five new mock drafts in the past week, including the first of the month for Keandre Ashley (Hoop Intellect), and updated picks from Kevin O’Connor (Yahoo Sports), Jonathan Wasserman (Bleacher Report), Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo (ESPN), and Tankathon. We now have a total of 18 for the month of May! Noa Essengue and Egor Demin seems to be creeping up into the lottery once again, while uncertainty about Derik Queen has him dropping to the late lottery. Meanwhile, Cedric Coward is now firmly in the first round, and does not appear to be headed to Duke, who happened to steal Dame Sarr from Kansas this week to replace Coward in their starting lineup. Maxime Raynaud also looks like to be in the bottom half of the first after a strong combine.
5/14 update: With a wild Draft Lottery in the rear view mirror we now have a full new batch of mock drafts from Sam Vecenie (The Athletic), Ricky O’Donnell (SB Nation), Kevin O’Connor (Yahoo Sports), Jonathan Wasserman (Bleacher Report), Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo (ESPN), Tankathon, J Kyle Mann and Danny Chau (The Ringer), and yours truly!
Dallas at #1?! – Not sure about you, but Cooper Flagg does not seem like a Maverick to me. And I can’t say he seemed very enthusiastic about their draft lottery victory during the broadcast. If I’m Flagg, I don’t want to play for such an incompetent organization that trades away there superstars willy-nilly. I”ll be interested to see if they attempt to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo to follow Nico Harrison‘s all-in, defense wins championships theme. The fans certainly deserve something after they were robbed of Luka in his prime.
San Antonio at #2 – Lots of discussion about putting a package together for Giannis here, but I wouldn’t do it. If a trade is to be made, I would ship out De’Aaron Fox and build around Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, Devin Vassell and Wemby. I have no idea why the Spurs would want max contract for Fox and super max’s for Wemby and Giannis. That way, they would only have a few dollars to scrape together a roster around them and if the injury bug hits, playoff runs will promptly end. Giannis has a good amount of years left, but he also has a lot of miles on him and could become less effective each year. That’s where the mismatched timelines don’t mesh for me. Meanwhile, Castle and Harper could form an incredible backcourt for the next decade plus! On Twitter, I floated a trade idea where Spurs send Fox to the Nets, who send Cam Johnson, cap filler, and the #8 pick. They could then take Khaman Maluach or Derik Queen to bolster the front court.
Philly at #3 – I’m not sure what the hell is happening there. Is Joel Embiid out for months? Does PG even have anything left, or enough, at least, to be all-star caliber? How do Jared McCain and Tyrese Maxey fit? Does Ace Bailey even work there?
Utah, Washington, Brooklyn and Toronto dropping to #5 through #9 – Very disappointing results for those teams and their fan bases after dismal years of tanking. I would have loved to see Flagg and Harper on two of those teams to give them a boost. Not much else to do but to take upside swings on Tre Johnson, Derik Queen, Kon Knueppel, Jeremiah Fears, or Nolan Traore and hope it pans out.
In other news, two are rising quickly up the draft charts–Cedric Coward (who inevitably will not be headed to Duke next season) and Nolan Traore (been #1 PQ for me in this draft since last fall…just sayin’). Also, we’re finally seeing almost-consensus that Carter Bryant is, in fact, a high upside guy who is a plug and play 3-D guy on almost any team.
ENJOY the NBA Draft Combine…and please write your local congressman/woman to request that Draft Combine gear be for sale to the public!
We are only days away from this year’s much anticipated (and highly beloved!) Draft Lottery. With so much excitement building, a batch of new mock drafts were released in the past week which includes new picks from Sam Vecenie (The Athletic), Ricky O’Donnell (SB Nation), Kevin O’Connor (Yahoo Sports), Jonathan Wasserman (Bleacher Report), and J Kyle Mann and Danny Chau (The Ringer). We’ll use these as food for thought as we await the official order next week.
The one pick that really made me stop and think was Vecenie’s Carter Bryant to the Spurs pick at #9. This makes a ton of sense as big, 2-way wing with high upside that fits perfectly with Wemby, and could eventually replace Harrison Barnes. Vecenie also has Tre Johnson going #3 ahead of VJ Edgecombe and Ace Bailey, after watching him workout last month and being impressed.

I’m a little late posting this month’s big board comparison—it’s been a busy work month—but we now have six new boards to compare as we inch closer to the Draft Lottery on May 12th. This month’s comp includes boards from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo (ESPN), Kevin O’Connor (Yahoo Sports), the No Ceilings crew, Keandre Ashley (Hoop Intellect), J. Kyle Mann and Danny Chau (The Ringer) and Tankathon. Aside from the top two, there’s quite a lot of disagreement amongst prospects, so plenty of food for thought as we all continue to watch tape and analyze ourselves.
Keep checking back, as I’ll be updating this post throughout as more big boards are released this month. And follow @hoopsdistillery on Twitter for update alerts or search #bigboardcomp.

[NBA Draft]: 2025 Big Board Comparison, March (updated 3/29)
Here’s the March Madness edition of our big board comparison with new boards from ESPN, Bleacher Report, Yahoo Sports, The Ringer, No Ceilings, Tankathon, and Hoop Intellect.
[NBA Draft]: 2025 Mock Draft Comparison, March (updated 3/31)
March Madness has finally arrived! And with it, a fresh set of mock drafts from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, Kevin O’Connor/Yahoo Sports, No Ceilings, SB Nation, Tankathon, and your truly. Tre Johnson, Derik Queen and Jase Richardson moving up this month!
[NBA Draft]: 2025 Big Board Comparison, February 2025 (updated 2/28)
Back with the February edition of our big board comparison with new boards from Sam Vecenie/The Athletic, Tankathon, No Ceilings, and Keandre Ashley/Hoop Intellect. VJ Edgecombe moving back into the top four! Carter Bryant also on the move.

4/29 update: New mocks added for Jonathan Wasserman (Bleacher Report) and the No Ceilings crew. Egor Demin and Carter Bryant going in the top 10 for No Ceilings. And Wass ran a Tankathon sim for his pick order with Flagg going to Charlotte at #1 and Jeremiah Fears at #5 to Washington.
What a great March Madness run–hope everyone enjoyed it! And only two games left for the NBA, with the Wizards, Jazz, and Hornets seemingly locked in to the top three spots, giving each of them 14% chance in the Cooper Flagg lottery. We have a fresh batch of mock drafts from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo (ESPN), Jonathan Wasserman (Bleacher Report), Kevin O’Connor (Yahoo Sports), Tankathon, and your truly.
Interesting to compare the pick variance chart versus last month’s, as we see there’s a lot of agreement about the range for the top seven (and maybe even the top nine): Flagg, Harper, Bailey, Edgecombe, Maluach, Knueppel, Tre Johnson, Queen, and Fears. Meanwhile, Carter Bryant is moving up the charts due to his huge upside as a big wing. Collin Murray-Boyles also seems to have moved up a bit–KOC has him way up at #5.
Looks like Thomas Sorber and Rasheer Fleming have moved down this month, while Boogie Fland and Kam Jones are not even predicted to be first rounders anymore, being replaced by Walter Clayton, after his stellar title run and Nique Clifford. Also, some big time doubts about Liam McNeely–Wass has him at #18 and O’Donnell down has him way down at #27.
Pre-draft workout training is already starting up and it’s interesting to think through who will move up once it gets into May and June in actual pre-draft workouts for teams. My guess is that the fearsome French foursome of Traore, Essengue, Penda and Berringer (along with Hugo Gonzalez and Ben Saraf) would probably all have a good chance to increasing their stock if they could come stateside, but sounds like many of their team’s schedules may not allow it. This is particularly bad for Nolan Traore (in my opinion), who few seem to be thrilled about anymore, but may still be a top seven talent with NBA-spacing.
Keep checking back as I’ll be updating this post throughout the month and/or follow @hoopsdistillery on Twitter for update alerts.

Post-NBA trade deadline hangovers be damned! We’re back with new picks from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, No Ceilings, Tankathon, and your truly. Some new names emerging and lots to chew on here.
[NBA Draft]: 2025 Big Board Comparison, January 2025
Starting off the new year with an update of our big board comparison with four new boards, including Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, Tankathon, No Ceilings, and Keandre Ashley/Hoop Intellect. All kinds of differing opinions to sort out amongst this group. Jeremiah Fears is now in the top 12 across the boards.

[NBA Draft]: 2025 Big Board Comparison, March (updated 3/29)
Note: If the table is not loading correctly on your mobile device via Twitter, then copy and paste this link in your browser and view the post on my site at https://hoopsdistillery.com/bigboardcomp-march25/
3/29 update: We have three new big boards (for a total of eight boards to compare for this month!), including an updated version from Jeremy Woo and Jonathan Givony/ESPN, and the first boards from Kevin O’Connor/Yahoo Sports and Danny Chau and J. Kyle Mann/The Ringer.
The last ESPN board was release on 3/1 and we see a lot of movement over the course of a month, including with Jeremiah Fears, Derik Queen and Collin Murray-Boyles moving up into the top 12. Nique Clifford moved up to #25, and Yaxel Lendeborg and Bennett Stirtz make their first appearances on this updated board in the top 35.
The Ringer’s 2025 NBA Draft Guide is back with their first big board (lottery only for now) sans Kevin O’Connor who released his Yahoo version of the draft guide which is not quite as pretty, but chock full of great analysis. Chau and Mann have Labaron Philon all the way up at #9.
Meanwhile, KOC’s board has Derik Queen and Khaman Maluach at #4 and #5 ahead of VJ Edgecombe (#6) and Tre Johnson (#11). Also worth noting on this board are Rasheer Fleming at #42, Asa Newell at #22, while Maxime Raynaud comes in at #18 and Bennet Stirtz at #20.
Welcome to the March Madness edition of our big board comparison with new boards from Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo/ESPN, Jonathan Wasserman/Bleacher Report, No Ceilings, Tankathon, and Keandre Ashley/Hoop Intellect.
The top 15 seem to be settling into place, but we do see some movement up the boards this month from Tre Johnson, Derik Queen and Jase Richardson after some real strong games to close out their respective team’s seasons.
Keep checking back, as I’ll be updating this post throughout as more big boards are released this month. And follow @hoopsdistillery on Twitter for update alerts.
