USA, BrooklynThu Jun 26 2025
The NBA Draft 2025 is happening right now, and it's a big deal. The first round is taking place tonight at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. This year, the draft is spread over two days, just like last year. Tonight, 30 young players will find out which team they will join.
The Dallas Mavericks are up first with the number one pick. Everyone is guessing they will choose Cooper Flagg, a standout player from Duke. The San Antonio Spurs are next, and they are likely to pick Dylan Harper from Rutgers. After these first two picks, things get really interesting.
One big question is where Ace Bailey, another star from Rutgers, will end up. He didn't do a workout with the Philadelphia 76ers, who have the third pick. In fact, he hasn't worked out with any team yet. This makes his future team a big mystery.
The night is full of surprises and predictions. Everyone is watching to see who goes where and what trades might happen. It's a night of big decisions and new beginnings for these young players.
