The 2025 NBA predraft process officially kicks off Saturday, with an expected 120 players, including Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper, Derik Queen, Walter Clayton Jr ., and others, congregating in Chicago for the NBA draft combine, G League Elite Camp, and agency pro days.

The draft lottery is this Monday night, May 12, and it will be televised on ESPN. The Rockets (via the Suns) will enter with the No. 9 odds slot.

All but certain to be the No. 1 pick, Montverde Academy alum Cooper Flagg wowed observers as a Duke freshman with his poise, confidence and ability to shoot from anywhere on the court.
