NBA Draft Combine 2025, Full List of Participants, Schedule and Players to Watch
The NBA announced on Friday the 75 players that will participate in the 2025 Draft Combine, which will take place in Chicago from May 11-18.
The NBA G League Elite Camp will also take place from May 9-11, while the NBA Draft Lottery will be held on May 12, making early May an extremely important period in the pre-draft process for teams.
For many prospects, the combine is the chance to impress teams, especially during the scrimmage portion of the event. Generally speaking, however, the combine is more about interviews and meetings for the very top prospects—this year, that includes Duke's Cooper Flagg, Rutgers' Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey and Baylor's V.J. Edgecombe, among others—than it is about the testing or scrimmages.
Flagg is the overwhelming favorite to be the top overall selection, with the Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets each holding 14 percent odds to obtain the No. 1 pick.
The New Orleans Pelicans (12.5 percent), Philadelphia 76ers (10.5 percent), Brooklyn Nets (9 percent), Toronto Raptors (7.5 percent), San Antonio Spurs (6 percent), Houston Rockets (3.8 percent, via Phoenix), Portland Trail Blazers (3.7 percent), Dallas Mavericks (1.8 percent), Chicago Bulls (1.7 percent), Sacramento Kings (0.8 percent) and Spurs (0.7 percent, via Atlanta) round out the draft lottery.
The 2025 NBA draft will be held in Brooklyn on June 25-26.
