The Ringer’s NBA Draft Guide is back and, dare we say, better than ever. The 2025 class should be a doozy, too: athletic anomalies, tough-shot artists, genius-level processors, and amorphous vessels of potential across the positional spectrum. There will be 59 picks made across two rounds on June 25 and 26, giving several teams a shot at a game-changing addition, but the true prize is Cooper Flagg, one of the best prospects of the past decade and also the youngest of this year’s group.
They say talent evaluation is both an art and a science, but it’s perhaps even more fundamental than that: Understanding the draft is an act of translating imagination into reality, and vice versa. And a better understanding is what we hope to provide. You’ll find the usual around here: in-depth player analysis, big boards, mock drafts, player comparisons. It’ll look familiar, with a few new features we hope you’ll appreciate. Namely: the Comp Cloud—a weighted visual reference that we hope will provide a more constructive outline of a player’s style and trajectory. For our resident player-development obsessives J. Kyle Mann and Danny Chau, the goal is to better understand the shape of basketball to come. And there’s no better place to start than here. So sit back, get comfortable, and dive in.
There’s a lot to say when buying a new home or car, but only one thing to say that can help you protect them: Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there. And just like that, a State Farm agent will be there to help you choose the coverage you need. No matter where you are in life, when you need coverage options, your State Farm agent is there to help, on the phone or in-person. Like a good neighbor, State Farm is there.
