Kurt Helin, Raphielle Johnson and Noah Rubin wrote up their picks for the 2025 NBA Draft after the Mavericks won the draft lottery on Monday night.

One reason the Nets figure to be active ahead of the draft is that they currently have four picks in the first round this year. Their own is at No. 8 overall, plus three others at 19 (via Milwaukee Bucks), 26 (via New York Knicks) and 27 (via Houston Rockets).

The Brooklyn Nets were disappointed after Monday's 2025 NBA Draft Lottery and as a result, they reportedly are regarded as a trade-up candidate.

ESPN NBA analyst Brian Windhorst thinks the American pope should sway the NBA Draft Lottery in favor of his Chicago NBA team.

Utah Jazz co-governor Dwyane Wade reacted to the shocking 2025 NBA Draft Lottery outcome with a sense of optimism. After the Jazz ended up with the No. 5 overall pick on Monday, Wade reflected on another notable No. 5 selection—himself in the 2003 NBA Draft.
