Baylor product VJ Edgecombe, who made an impression at the 2024 Olympics, edges out Harper’s Rutgers teammate Ace Bailey on points at No. 3, and the decision seems to hinge on that pair — either Edgecombe or Bailey claims 8 of 10 No. 3 slots and all 10 at No. 4.

NBA Draft order was set by the NBA Draft Lottery on May 12, 2025, in Chicago, IL. The Dallas Mavericks defied the odds (1.8% chance) and landed the No. 1 pick. Now picks 1-59 are set. The top 14 picks were determined by a lottery process involving the teams that did not make this year's NBA playoffs.

We officially know the order of the 2025 NBA Draft now that the lottery is concluded, but there is still plenty to learn from the NBA Draft Combine.
