2025 NBA MOCK Draft 2.0: Who is Cooper Flag follows?

How about if Dallas received the first choice in the NBA draft lottery after she had less than 2% chance?

Talk about beating the chances.

Good for you, Mavs. This could be exactly what the doctor ordered after all the Luka-to-Angeles saga. But I wander off.

What I want to do is to penetrate my second NBA MOCK design, which is my first with a clearer picture of how teams will choose. And it is no surprise that I first get Dukes Cooper Flagg out of the board.

How for the rest? Well, you have to read on to find out where I land some of the top design of the design.

1. Dallas Mavericks: Cooper FlagF, duke

Conspiracy theories are fun, but let's deal in reality: the MAVs could make this selection in a package for Giannis. Or take flag and start building it around it. Options in abundance. A flag-l-liege backline would be impressive for the coming years.

2. San Antonio Spurs: Ace BaileyG/f, Rutgers

Stephon Castle designed the Spurs and exchanged them against De'aaron Fox. So you would think that your back court is set. Bailey is hyper-athletic and a slasher with a large length. Ultimately, it could be two or three or a small ball at 6-foot 9.

3. Philadelphia 76ers: Dylan HarperG, Rutgers

Dylan is the son of Ron Harper and a strong 6-foot 6 combo guard who only has to improve his shootout (33% on a low volume) to become an all-star. Maybe Philly has to build around him, Tyrese Maxey and Jared McCain.

4. Charlotte Hornets: Jeremiah fearsPG, Oklahoma

I have to see more of the Lamelo Ball Brandon Miller-Combo, but can you surround them with enough skills to be a playoff team in the WEA Ost? Is it worth trying out lamelo from the ball? This could be an option because fears have a big upward trend.

5. Utah jazz: VJ EdgecombeG, Baylor

With Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson in their recent years, they become valuable trading chips for competitors who want to strengthen their bank. Edgecompbe will be 20 at the end of July and it is not crazy to believe that in three years he will be the top player from this draft whose name is not flag.

6. Washington Wizards: Tre JohnsonG, Texas

This is a team that … everything needs. The wizards have to snap the best player on the board. And Johnson, who became 19 in March, is a rating machine that has shot 39% on 3S.

7. New Orleans Pelicans: Kasparas JakucionisG, Illinois

The pelicans would love to fall fears or Johnson here. But in the absence of both, they may take a long look at the 6-foot 6 lituana. He could see the season as a rookie, given the Achilles injury of Dejounte Murray.

8. Brooklyn Nets: Derik QueenC, Maryland

The networks are rinsed with cap room and you will be a team this summer. Queen will be a fan favorite immediately. He had a fantastic Freshman season with the Terps, who had met with a game winner against Colorado State, followed by a 27-point game against the later champion Florida.

9. Toronto Raptors: Khaman MaluachC, duke

The raptors are enclosed in a core of Ingram, Barrett, Quickley and Barnes. But are you a game team at all? I am not sure whether Maluach is willing to make a contribution, but it can be the rim protection you need.

10. Houston Rockets (About Phoenix): Kon KnueppelG, duke

The missiles should take a run at Giannis, but they urgently need to protect. Knueppel is one of the best shooters in the design.

11. Portland Trail Blazer: Jase RichardsonG, State Michigan

I will keep Richardson here, and this is partly due to the fact that the starting of Simons deal gives a year more. He could be a valuable trade for a contender at the deadline and open the door to Richardson to slip together with Scott Henderson.

12. Chicago Bulls: Danny WolfPf/C Michigan

The bulls have good players who don't really go together, but there are only one year of Nik Vucevic (luckily). This will pave the way for Wolf, in addition to the promising MATAS Buzelis of the High-IQ Big.

13. Atlanta Hawks (About Sacramento): Collin Murray boysF, South Carolina

The Hawks frontline loses Clint Capela and Larry Nance. And Murray boys would work as a backup of Onyeka Okongwu.

14. San Antonio Spurs (About Atlanta): Noa Essengue, F, Ratiopharm Ulm

The Spurs are a fascinating team that has capital, young stars and a very solid rotation. Essengue is 6-foot 10 and could use another year in overseas to win weight because it makes Chet Holmgren look heavy.

15. Oklahoma City Thunder (About Miami): Carter BryantF, Arizona

This is the guy who didn't do much in college. He had a double-digit goal game in his last 17 games, but he profiled himself as a great 3-and-D wing while developing. And he is only 19.

16. Orlando magic: EGOR DeminG, byu:

This would be a gift for magic. They were able to use a large security guard to combine with Jalen Suggs. Demin has a massive advantage due to length, skills and IQ, and if he improves his 3-point shot, we look at an all-star.

17. Minnesota Timberwolves (About Detroit): Alex Condon, C, Florida

Condon is an international center for shooting blocks that supports your international center of Shot blocking, Rudy Gobert? Secure.

18. Washington Wizards (About Memphis): Ben Saraf, Ratiopharm Ulm

The 18-year-old reminds me of a larger Goran-Dragic. Yes, two guards for Washington make sense because my husband Jordan Poole is already full.

19. Brooklyn Nets (About Milwaukee): Nique CliffordG, Colorado State

He had an enormous college career in Colorado and CSU, which had met with a brilliant season when he almost doubled his 3-point production of 2024. He does everything and could be a surprise of the Austin Reaves surprise next year.

20. Miami heat (About Golden State): Thomas SorberF, Georgetown

The feeling that the heat could go a million different directions, and that also includes acting Bam Adebayo. Sorber was one of the country's best shooting blocks last season before suffering an injury.

21. Utah jazz (About Minnesota): Will Riley, F, Illinois

Riley started his college career with 31 points, and although he is only 19 years old, he was able to fight for the reconstruction jazz in a year in a year.

22. Atlanta Hawks (About Los Angeles Lakers): Walter Clayton, PG, Florida

He will be a fan favorite in Atlanta pretty quickly. Trae Young has a year before his player option. Yes, this discussion is in progress.

23. Indiana Pacers: Ryan KalkbrennerC, Creighton

If the Pacers Myles gymnast lost in the free agency, the four -time defensive player of the year in Big East could be a solid replacement. He could also be a big praise by Haliburton.

24. Oklahoma City Thunder (About Los Angeles Clippers): Joan Beringer, C, France

Beringer is only 18 years old and he is a draft and Stash candidate who could join thunder in a few years if the Treaty of Isaiah Hartenstein ends.

25. Orlando magic (About Denver): Miles byrdG/f, State of San Diego

Ideally, the 6-foot 7, 190 pound SG could improve its shot and develop into a 3-D player. But his offensive restrictions could bring him back to school for another season.

26. Brooklyn Nets (via New York): Yaxel LendeborgF/c, Michigan

If he cuts off well at the NBA Combine this week, you expect him to stay in the draft instead of returning to college. After a big year last year, he switched to UAB (17.7 ppg, 11.4 RPG), where he was the AAC defensive player of the year at 6-foot 9.

27. Brooklyn Nets (via Houston): Tahaad PettifordPG, Auburn

He is an ultra-talented point Guard, and he could crack the rotation as a rookie because the situation of the Nets-Backcourt remains mixed up. I admit that I am much higher at Pettiford than many.

28. Boston Celtics: Cedric FeiglingG/f, Washington State

This is the most exciting name of this week in Draft Circles after you have committed yourself to the Duke. He only played six games for the Cougars before a shoulder injury ended his campaign. In 2022 he played Diii. Then he moved to East Washington. Now 21, he is 6-foot 6 and rounded off his game so far that he could go the top 20-or return to play with Duke.

29. Phoenix Suns (About Cleveland): Asa NewellPresent Georgia

He is only 19, but he is an old school that is back-to-the-basket Big. It is also sporty and shot 74% at FTS, which represents the potential of a 3-point future.

30. Los Angeles Clipper (About OKC): Labaron PhilonPG, Alabama

The Clippers have one of the oldest point guard groups in the league with James Harden (35), Kris Dunn (31) and Patty Mills (36). Philon has the potential in the first round and shot 51% as a newcomer to the flood.
