2025 NBA Mock Draft: Two-Round Projections Following Luka Doncic and De'Aaron Fox Trades

Originally posted on NBA Draft on SI  |  Last updated Feb 3, 2025 7:00 AM ET

The NBA Trade Deadline is almost here, with just a few days until the final buzzer. Meanwhile, college programs are deep in conference play. The 2025 NBA Draft is just a few months away, meaning teams are hard at work scouting which players could be worth a draft choice when they're on the board.

Following what was considered a group of prospects with less upside in the 2024 NBA Draft, the group of players projected to be available in the 2025 NBA Draft is one of the best in recent years. This class features Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper at the top, but there are several other players who could be needle-movers for an NBA franchise if brought into the right system.
