2025 NBA Mock Draft: VJ Edgecombe moves up to the No. 4 pick, Kon Knueppel falls out of top five
The NBA Draft is just three weeks away and the landscape of this year's class is quickly coming into focus after the NCAA withdrawal deadline passed last week, with several promising prospects reshaping the talent pool by returning to school on big-money NIL deals.
Now's time to reset the board and put pen to paper reacting to the latest movement and musings across the draft environment.
The first round begins June 25, which admittedly feels close, but in draft terms it is equivalent to an eternity. A lot can change between now and then — it's smokescreen season! — and a lot has already changed since our last mock two weeks ago. But given the recent developments this is the best time to capture the new landscape as it currently sits entering the homestretch with no major changes to available players expected.
As you'll see below, the bones of the mock remains the same — Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey go 1-2-3, this time with no major mock trades — but the back half of the first round is almost entirely shuffled around in some way to account for a number of risers, fallers and departees headed back to school.
Let's get to the mock.
