Growing sentiment that Dylan's scoring prowess might make hm a better #1 prospect than Flagg...

Looks like a lot of talent in this draft. Top 5 looks greatish and I was just looking at Tankathon mock and JT Toppin at #20 (25 /15 in 26 mins). Very deep draft

2025 NBA Mock Draft:

20. Atlanta Hawks (via Lakers): Thomas Sorber

Spoiler:

Team: Georgetown
Position: C
Size: 6'10", 255 lbs
Age: 18
Nationality: USA
Pro Comparison: Onyeka Okongwu

There's been no freshman wall yet to slow down Thomas Sorber. He just dominated Coppin State with 22 points, 12 boards, four blocks and three assists after a 19-point, four-block game in a win at Seton Hall.

His strength and interior skill have been too much for opponents in the paint, while the passing and disruptive defense continue to give Sorber extra layers.

He's slightly undersized at 6'10" for a post-player center, but he's also attempted 22 threes this year—a promising sign regardless of the results.

49. Atlanta Hawks (via Wolves): Chaz Lanier

Spoiler:

Team: Tennessee
Position: SG
Size: 6'4", 199 lbs
Age: 22
Nationality: USA
Pro Comparison: Seth Curry

The nation's top team is led by Chaz Lanier's 19.3 points and 3.8 threes per game.

He's not going to make a difference with any passing or defense, but after averaging nearly 20 points per game at North Florida, his start at Tennessee has become worth tracking heading into the Christmas break.

He's a career 42.0 percent three-point shooter (471 attempts) with a diverse shotmaking profile releasing from on and off the ball.

The Trae Young trade rumors appear to have quieted down as the franchise star is putting together another dazzling season alongside the emergence of a quartet of young two-way players in Jalen Johnson, De’Andre Hunter, Dyson Daniels, and rookie Zaccharie Risacher. In continuation of Atlanta’s plan to build around Trae with two-way studs, Atlanta snags Arizona’s 6’8” freshman, Carter Bryant. Equipped with a long, rangy frame plus ball skills and a soft touch, Bryant is the type of 3-and-D wing with upside that all NBA teams covet, and Atlanta can afford to develop slowly.

New idea: we just draft people from Australia to build a pipeline.

Spoiler:

Labaron Philon, PG/SG, Alabama
Freshman
Season averages: 12.6 points (53.5% FG), 3.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists

Philon has exceeded expectations, playing an essential role for one of the best teams in college basketball, showing off strong versatility on both ends of the floor and plenty of winning qualities. He is aggressive in the open court, a capable pick-and-roll option, an intense defender and he brings more toughness than one might expect from his thin frame.

Philon plays an unselfish, relatively mistake-free style that has earned him minutes on a deep, experienced team. Not blessed with the best physical tools, making shots more consistently (28% on 3-pointers) would solidify him more firmly in top-20 conversations while also helping Alabama make a deep NCAA tournament run. -- Givony
