2025 NBA Draft order: Updated list of all picks in Rounds 1 and 2 - NBC4 Washington

Published 13 hours ago2 minute read

There have been some changes to the 2025 NBA Draft order as the two-day event nears.

The most recent deal involving picks in this year's draft was between the Indiana Pacers and New Orleans Pelicans. The Pacers reacquired their 2026 first-rounder from the Pelicans in exchange for the No. 23 selection and the rights to guard Mojave King, who was a 2023 second-round pick.

That Pacers-Pelicans deal followed a blockbuster trade between the Memphis Grizzlies and Orlando Magic. Orlando paid a steep price to acquire standout guard Desmond Bane from Memphis, sending out four first-round picks -- including No. 16 this year -- and one pick swap along with guards Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Cole Anthony.

The Dallas Mavericks are picking first overall thanks to one of the most unlikely draft lottery wins in NBA history. Months after controversially trading Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas moved up 10 spots in the order to No. 1 despite boasting 1.8% lottery odds.

The Mavs are widely expected to kick off the draft by taking Duke forward Cooper Flagg, the consensus top prospect in this year's class.

The rest of the top five, in order, includes the San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers, Charlotte Hornets and Utah Jazz.

Here's an updated look at the full draft order:

The NBA draft will take place over two days for the second straight year. The first round, which includes the first 30 picks, is on Wednesday, June 25, followed by Round 2 on Thursday, June 26.

The Barclays Center, home of the Brooklyn Nets in New York, is hosting the entire draft.

There are typically 30 picks per round in the NBA draft, but the New York Knicks were docked their 2025 second-rounder after the league found they had violated tampering rules before signing Jalen Brunson in 2022 free agency.
