The Dallas Mavericks hold the first overall pick.

What is the 2025 NBA Draft order?

That’s the question on everyone’s mind after an epic NBA finals ended on Sunday night and everyone’s attention instantly turned to the NBA offseason, starting with the draft.

It can be difficult to keep track of who is picking where with how often deals are done in the NBA, so we’ve got it covered with a full list.

It’s no secret that Duke star Cooper Flagg is the top prospect and the crown jewel of last month’s NBA draft lottery, when the Dallas Mavericks shockingly moved all the way up to No. 1. But by all accounts, this is a good class with what should be an unpredictable top 10.

The Detroit Pistons will not make a pick on Day 1 unless they trade into the first round, as fans will have to wait until No. 37 overall.

Here’s the draft order as it stands on the day of the draft, Wednesday, June 25.
