NBA Draft 2025: Who's Joining Which Team?

The 2025 NBA Draft is happening in New York, spread over two nights. The first round kicks off on June 25 at 8 p. m. ET, broadcast on ABC and ESPN. The second round follows on June 26 at the same time, but only on ESPN. This year's draft has some interesting picks. The Dallas Mavericks are starting things off by selecting Cooper Flagg, a forward from Duke. The San Antonio Spurs are next, choosing Dylan Harper, a guard from Rutgers. The Philadelphia 76ers are going for VJ Edgecombe, another guard, this time from Baylor. The draft continues with the Charlotte Hornets picking Kon Knueppel, a guard/forward from Duke. The Utah Jazz follow with Ace Bailey, also a guard/forward, but from Rutgers. The Washington Wizards are next, selecting Tre Johnson, a guard from Texas.

There are still many picks to go, with teams like the New Orleans Pelicans, Brooklyn Nets, and Toronto Raptors yet to make their choices in the first round. The second round features more trades and surprises, with teams like the Minnesota Timberwolves and Boston Celtics making notable selections. One thing to note is that the New York Knicks had to give up their second-round pick. This is because of an investigation into their 2022 signing of Jalen Brunson. It's a reminder that rules are there for a reason, and teams have to play by them. The NBA Draft is always exciting, with teams hoping to find the next big star. It's a chance for young players to start their careers and for teams to build for the future. But it's also a business, with trades and rules that can change everything.
