2025 NBA Draft Summary

This year's NBA draft is officially in the books! With their being so many moves during the event, I like to have this post separate from my offseason tracker to really dig into the moves around the board. While I make sure to give proper reporting credit in that tracker, it gets a lot messier trying to list that here with so many trades and the main news coming from one source earlier before small details come from another. So overall just shoutout to Shams Charania, Jake Fischer, Michael Scotto, Brett Siegel, Jon Krawczynski, and Anthony Slater for providing which future picks and/or draft rights exchanged hands throughout the event.

There will be more thoughts on what each team did added in soon, but for now here is a list of every selection and trade made (in excruciating detail) from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday evening. If you're curious about how teams had some of these picks from previous trades (and boy were there a lot of them), I broke it down in the second half of my lottery reaction post.
