After weeks of waiting, the 2025 NBA Draft officially begins with Round 1 on Wednesday night at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. The two-round draft will be a held across as many days for the second consecutive year, but it all starts with the first 30 selections going off the board tonight.
The Dallas Mavericks will be on the clock with the No. 1 overall pick to start the night. The Mavs are heavily favored to select Duke star forward Cooper Flagg, the consensus top-ranked player in the class. The San Antonio Spurs hold the No. 2 pick and are widely expected to take Rutgers star guard Dylan Harper. After the first two picks, the real drama will start.
One of the top storylines leading up to the first round is where Rutgers star forward Ace Bailey will end up. Bailey reportedly canceled his predraft workout with the Philadelphia 76ers — the team that holds the No. 3 pick — and hasn’t publicly conducted a pre-draft workout with a team to date.
