Some notes in our initial look at the mock drafts from around the web before the 2025 NBA Draft presented by State Farm, where the Dallas Mavericks will be on the clock with the No. 1 pick.

The Consensus Mock Draft is a compilation of the best mock drafts around the web. We bring them together to provide a solid estimate of how the Draft could play out ().

To calculate the consensus, we award 14 points for every mock draft in which the player went first overall, 13 for second, continuing to one point for the final lottery pick. The player with the highest point total represents the top overall selection, which is as follows:

---

Duke | Position: F | Height: 6-9
Status: Freshman
Most Common: 1 (10)

An elite two-way prospect who could prove to be not only a franchise centerpiece but a long-term face of the league.

---

Rutgers | Position: G | Height: 6-6
Status: Freshman
Most Common: 2 (10)

Visionary combo guard wields precise footwork and sharp offensive instincts with size in the backcourt.

---

Baylor | Position: G-F | Height: 6-5
Status: Freshman
Most Common: 5 (7)

Rising international star for the Bahamas is an athletic marvel whose upside is only limited by his development.

---

Rutgers | Position: F | Height: 6-10
Status: Freshman
Most Common: 4 (5)

Knockdown shooter needs to avoid narrowing options to his own. Adding the strength to bang could compensate for cold spells.

---

Texas | Position: G | Height: 6-6
Status: Freshman
Most Common: 6 (4)

A clutch performer whose scoring punch is unquestioned, his upside banks on belief in vision and defense.

---

Duke | Position: F | Height: 6-7
Status: Freshman
Most Common: 7 (3)

Shooters gonna shoot, and it helps when they’re also making high-level decisions in the pick-and-roll.

---

Oklahoma | Position: G | Height: 6-4
Status: Freshman
Most Common: 8 (4)

A youngster who sports handles and quicks for days. His future as an offensive fulcrum or solid fit puzzle piece seems in the eye of the beholder.

---

Duke | Position: C | Height: 7-2
Status: Freshman
Most Common: 7, 8, 9 (2)

Long, mobile and already a defensive deterrent. If the offense elevates beyond rim-rolling, opponents could be in trouble.

---

Maryland | Position: C | Height: 6-10
Status: Freshman
Most Common: 9 (3)

Skilled and gifted with the ball in his hands, offense won’t ever be the issue if he’s given the reps to take the keys.

---

Illinois | Position: G | Height: 6-6
Status: Freshman
Most Common: 10 (30

Dimes will be dropped, with the accuracy of his 3-pointer ultimately determining how much space he’ll have to operate.

---

South Carolina | Position: F | Height: 6-7
Status: Sophomore
Most Common: 11 (3)

A stout defender who will need the size to play up (and the shot to fall) for his full potential to be achieved.

---

Arizona | Position: F | Height: 6-8
Status: Freshman
Most Common: 14 (3)

The defense is there, but low usage leaves many questions about his offensive profile.

---

Ratiopharm Ulm (Germany) | Position: F | Height: 6-10
Status: International
Most Common: 13 (4)

The Draft’s second-youngest prospect, and a raw offensive product who projects a 3-and-D floor.

---

Brigham Young | Position: G | Height: 6-9
Status: Freshman
Most Common: 13 (4)

Huge guard is ready to dish ’em out. But will his turnovers and developing shot scare off suitors?
