The Dallas Mavericks stunned the entire NBA when they leapfrogged their way into the top pick at the 2025 draft, thanks to some luck at the draft lottery. Now, months after trading Luka Doncic and dealing with the relentless blowback from an irate fan base, GM Nico Harrison will have the chance to select Duke standout Cooper Flagg, who is widely projected as the first player off the board.
This year's draft is scheduled for Wednesday, June 25 at 8:00 p.m. ET, and will be held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, home of the Brooklyn Nets.
We'll take a look at the full 2025 NBA draft order, showcasing when each team will be selecting in both the first and second round.
2025 NBA Draft Order for First Round
There are a number of teams that don't have a first round pick in the 2025 NBA draft, having previously traded theirs away. Among them are the Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, Detroit Pistons, Denver Nuggets, Sacramento Kings, Cleveland Cavaliers, Milwaukee Bucks and Memphis Grizzlies.
2025 NBA Draft Order for Second Round
The NBA imposed a penalty on the New York Knicks for engaging in free agency discussions with Jalen Brunson before the approved date, and as a result the team forfeited its own second round selection in the 2025 draft. The Knicks would have owned the No. 55 pick in the draft.
