We’re excited to present our 2025 NBA Mock Draft Staff Edition from Between The Lines
Sports, a product of months of scouting, analysis, and deep dives into player
evaluations.
For this edition, each of our scouts worked hard on this personal mock draft,
bringing unique perspectives and insights to the table. We then compiled the results,
cross-referenced them with our internal scouting reports, and held extensive
discussions to finalize a comprehensive, two-round projection.
The draft order reflects the standings on Tankathon as of April 30, 2025.
This mock isn’t just about rankings, it’s the result of rigorous film study, detailed stat
tracking, and countless hours of conversation about fit, upside, and long-term potential.
Whether it's breakout freshmen, late-blooming upperclassmen, or hidden gems from
international leagues, we believe some of these prospects earn the right to be drafted.
Since the draft lottery hasn’t occurred, we didn’t put as much thought into who selected
them. We judge by the overall talent and background of these athletes.
Expect monthly updates leading up to the draft, featuring in-depth scouting reports,
player comparisons, video breakdowns, and exclusive insight you won’t find anywhere
else.
