It’s that time of year again, folks! Last weekend, we assembled a group of 30 Enjoyers and hosted our third annual community mock draft, full of heated negotiations, major trades, and surprise picks. Let’s dive in! 🔥

The 2025 ENJOY Community Mock Draft

1. Dallas Mavericks (@NBA_QuachBoy) - Cooper Flagg

Flagg is such an impressive and well-rounded prospect that he could even bring a bit of vindication to Nico Harrison in his rookie season. His Swiss Army Knife toolkit is the perfect skillset to help take a deceptively deep and talented post-Luka Mavs team over the top.

2. San Antonio Spurs (@tarikdugum) - Dylan Harper

Dylan Harper, who in any other draft would be considered the number one prospect, fits seamlessly with the Spurs' young core. His all-around game, from playmaking to defense, would elevate their fast-paced, team-oriented style and should give him the opportunity to develop into a key piece alongside San Antonio’s rising stars.

🚨 TRADE ALERT 🚨 The Philadelphia 76ers have agreed to trade the No. 3 pick and Ricky Council IV to the Washington Wizards in exchange for the No. 6 pick, the No. 18 pick, and Justin Champagnie.

3. Washington Wizards (@colincsalao) - Ace Bailey

Bailey projects to be a scorer who can put the ball on the floor, but he’s a high-risk, high-reward prospect that the Wizards should be happy to roll the dice on. Washington will allow the 18-year-old time to grow alongside a young supporting cast of high-upside players and provide him veteran mentorship from the likes of Khris Middleton and Marcus Smart.

4. Charlotte Hornets (@WfromDeBall) - VJ Edgecombe

You couldn’t ask for a better connecting piece between LaMelo Ball and Brandon Miller than Baylor’s VJ Edgecombe. An explosive athlete with serious all-defense potential and a rapidly improving jumper, Edgecombe should be a plus defender and transition menace from day one, with potential to blossom into a real on-ball force if his film playing for the Bahamas is any indication.

5. Utah Jazz (@DeanSimonNBA) - Khaman Maluach

The Jazz grab a multi-faceted big man here in Maluach. Standing at 7-foot-2, the Duke University product turned heads at the combine with his shooting touch, making him a prospect with incredibly high upside and a potentially lethal two-way star.

🚨 TRADE ALERT 🚨 The Philadelphia 76ers are trading the No. 6 pick, Andre Drummond, and Eric Gordon to the New Orleans Pelicans for the No. 7 pick and Kelly Olynyk.

6. New Orleans Pelicans (@levyyyy2) - Tre Johnson

With CJ McCollum’s contract ending and Jordan Hawkins' future uncertain in New Orleans, this pick could relieve some of the pressure around the future of their guard position. Tre Johnson offers floor spacing, elite off-ball movement, and the potential of McCollum-level shooting.

7. Philadelphia 76ers (@CiavoNBA) - Kon Knueppel

Amid the ever-changing Joel Embiid situation, the Sixers are among the league’s most enigmatic teams. That uncertainty, along with the relative parity between picks 3-8 in this draft, led Philadelphia to trade down twice to bolster their frontcourt while adding arguably the draft’s most lethal shooter in Kneuppel.

8. Brooklyn Nets (@Jacoblerea) - Jeremiah Fears

Lacking young star power, the Nets would benefit from taking a swing at one of the youngest players in the class. Jeremiah Fears was one of college basketball’s premier shot creators, using his deep arsenal of moves and advanced footwork to generate space at all three levels. Although Fears is only 6’2” with some shooting and decision-making troubles, Brooklyn can afford to take a swing on him.

🔥 HUGE TRADE ALERT 🔥 The Phoenix Suns are trading Kevin Durant and the No. 29 pick to the Toronto Raptors for Immanuel Quickley, Jakob Poeltl, the No. 9 pick, and the No. 39 pick.

9. Phoenix Suns (@jacob_seliga) - Noa Essengue

The Suns, now in their post-KD era, take a swing at a high-upside wing that could make Phoenix's frontcourt one of the best defensive units in the league. With his ability to guard on both the perimeter and inside, Essengue pairs with Ryan Dunn as the type of defender needed around Devin Booker.

🚨 TRADE ALERT 🚨 The Houston Rockets are trading the No. 10 pick (via PHO) to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for the No. 22 pick (via LAL) and Atlanta’s own 2029 first round pick (lottery protected).

10. Atlanta Hawks (@austin_alkire) - Collin Murray-Boyles

The Hawks trade up into the top ten to keep building their defense around Trae Young. HC Quin Snyder can effectively use Collin Murray-Boyles as a co-leader of Atlanta’s defensive hub with Dyson Daniels. CMB offers positional versatility 3 through 5, high IQ both defensively and while playmaking, and physical strength that features especially well in PNR coverage.

11. Portland Trail Blazers (@bryce_stevenson) - Carter Bryant

19-year-old Carter Bryant from Arizona is a phenomenal athlete. At 6’7” and 215 pounds with a 7’ wingspan, he showcased this at the combine by finishing in the top 5 in the vertical and sprints. Already possessing NBA-ready size and length, he looks to add value to the Blazers as a passer, defender, and standstill three-point shooter.

12. Chicago Bulls (@austinzeglis) - Asa Newell

Newell is a tall, versatile, high-floor forward who could anchor Chicago’s lineups defensively. He’s an elite athlete with great timing as a shot-blocker, rebounder, and cutter, and while his shooting and self-creation are still coming along, his physical tools and two-way feel make him an ideal fit for a team slowly shifting towards a youth movement centered around Coby White and Matas Buzelis.

🚨 THREE-TEAM TRADE ALERT 🚨 The Atlanta Hawks have agreed to trade the No. 13 pick and Dominick Barlow to the Brooklyn Nets, as well as Terance Mann to the Golden State Warriors. Brooklyn will send Cam Johnson, pick No. 26 (via NYK), and 2026 + 2028 second-round picks (via ATL) back to the Hawks. The Golden State Warriors are sending Moses Moody, the No. 41 pick, and an unprotected 2026 first-round pick to the Nets. In return, the Warriors are receiving a package from the Nets including No. 27 (via HOU) and a 2029 second-round pick (via GSW).

13. Brooklyn Nets (@Jacoblerea) - Cedric Coward

After trading Cam Johnson and acquiring a plethora of picks and young talent, Brooklyn continues to adhere to a strategy of targeting high ceilings. Coward fits the mold of a modern NBA wing, demonstrating functional athleticism combined with a smooth shooting stroke. Brooklyn could use wing versatility, and his natural feel as a connective passer, combined with his rapid development, gives him a relatively safe floor.

14. San Antonio Spurs (@tarikdugum) - Derik Queen

Queen’s offensive skillset—particularly his footwork, touch, and passing ability—could complement Wemby's game nicely, potentially forming a dynamic frontcourt duo for the ages. Alongside his promising playmaking abilities is some budding perimeter shooting potential. Given the right opportunity, Queen could be a real star.

🚨 TRADE ALERT 🚨 The Philadelphia 76ers have acquired the No. 15 pick from the Oklahoma City Thunder in exchange for the No. 18 pick, a 2027 second-round pick (via GSW/PHX), and a 2028 second-round pick (via GSW).

15. Philadelphia 76ers (@CiavoNBA) - Thomas Sorber

Philadelphia acquired the 18th pick in hopes of further bolstering its frontcourt. Sensing Minnesota’s desire for an offensively skilled center, the Sixers traded back up believing in Sorber's potential to play both behind and alongside Joel Embiid. Sorber projects to be an intimidating defender with his 7’6” wingspan and has the potential to operate in the high post and possibly stretch the floor one day.

16. Memphis Grizzlies (@KHeiserCBB) - Nique Clifford

He’s on the older side, but I see Nique Clifford as a perfect fit for the Memphis Grizzlies given his two-way productivity. In a high-usage role at Colorado State, he showed off a blend of scoring, playmaking, rebounding, and defense that should make him a value add to any NBA rotation. With the Grizzlies looking to retool the roster around Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. rather than completely rebuild, taking an experienced, well-rounded wing like Clifford would be a great move.

17. Minnesota Timberwolves (@dylantaylor23) - Ryan Kalkbrenner

With Rudy Gobert only getting older—plus the uncertainty of Julius Randle and Naz Reid in free agency—the Timberwolves add a high-floor prospect who has shown to be a very good shot-blocker with great touch and feel as an offensive player. Kalkbrenner’s biggest weakness is his rebounding, despite his size, but that can be coached up with some time and development.

18. Oklahoma City Thunder (@spencp99) - Rasheer Fleming

Fresh off an NBA title, the Thunder already have a full roster returning next season, so I’ve done some work to consolidate and acquire even more future assets for Sam Presti to play with (more on that later). One of OKC’s few weaknesses is their lack of size on the wing, and Rasheer Fleming immediately addresses that with a mammoth 7’6” wingspan without sacrificing floor spacing.

19. Brooklyn Nets (@Jacoblerea) - Egor Demin

With Demin still on the board at 19, Brooklyn pulls the trigger on one of the draft’s most polarizing prospects. His blend of positional size and playmaking instincts aligns with their long-term vision, especially as they seek to stockpile high-upside creators. Demin is far from a finished product, struggling with physicality and shooting the ball, but his flashes make him a strong value play at this spot.

20. Miami Heat (@thepenofeli) - Jase Richardson

Jase Richardson exploded onto the scene midway through last season as a freshman for Michigan State. He averaged 16 points per game over his last 15 contests, where he displayed a knack for multi-level scoring while playing mistake-free basketball. Taking that into consideration, plus his NBA pedigree (his dad, Jason, played 14 years in the NBA) and maturity that belied his age on a gritty MSU squad, Richardson is an ideal addition to Heat Culture.

🚨 TRADE ALERT 🚨 The Utah Jazz are trading the No. 21 pick to the Charlotte Hornets in exchange for the No. 35 pick (via NOP) and a 2026 pick swap.

21. Charlotte Hornets (@WfromDeBall) - Will Riley

A jumbo wing with some playmaking chops and a knack for creating his own shots, Will Riley is a guy worth trading back into the first round for. While he struggled somewhat on the defensive side of the ball at Illinois, Riley has the tools to become a very good NBA player in due time.

22. Houston Rockets (@HoopIMust) - Kasparas Jakucionis

Guard is becoming a sneaky position of need for the Rockets. With Fred VanVleet likely out the door in the next couple of years and Amen Thompson appearing to be more natural as a forward in the NBA, the Rockets may explore adding another young guard to the rotation. Jakucionis brings plus size, rebounding, and passing, and he could pair nicely with Reed Sheppard in Houston’s long term backcourt plans.

🚨 TRADE ALERT 🚨 The Phoenix Suns are trading the No. 39 pick, the No. 52 pick, and a 2026 second-round pick (via DEN) to the New Orleans Pelicans for the No. 23 pick.

23. Phoenix Suns (@jacob_seliga) - Walter Clayton Jr.

With their new look backcourt of Quickley and Booker, the Suns take a swing on the ultimate bucket getter off the bench to fill a hole that has plagued the team since their Dallas series in 2022. WCJ does everything offensively the Suns need in a guard off the bench, and with zero pressure to start right away, he can develop if they move on from Quickley in two years in this scenario.

🚨 TRADE ALERT 🚨 The Oklahoma City Thunder are trading the No. 24 pick to the Toronto Raptors in exchange for a lottery-protected first-round pick in 2031.

24. Toronto Raptors (@JJBuckets17) - Maxime Raynaud

The window to compete in the Eastern Conference in 2025-26 is there, and after a couple of big-time trades, the Toronto Raptors are looking up. Grabbing Maxime Raynaud, who can come in, plug a hole, and give quality rotational minutes immediately, was too good of a move to pass up.

25. Orlando Magic (@aahilrajan) - Liam McNeeley

The Orlando Magic have a glaring need and have spent the offseason trying to address it. To go along with the massive swing of landing Desmond Bane, the Magic continue to keep their foot on the gas and bring in one of the purest shooters in the class. McNeeley’s sweet stroke and high offensive IQ could allow him to contribute right away to a team looking to take advantage of a wide-open Eastern Conference next season. 

26. Atlanta Hawks (@austin_alkire) - Adou Thiero

Atlanta decides to continue adding athletic defenders by selecting Adou Thiero out of Arkansas. Thiero shows the ability to both play and guard 2-4. His frame compares to the Thompson twins despite being less refined in his movements. Thiero’s high motor should pair nicely with the Hawks’ other wings. If the offense can develop through deeper shot making and increased usage of his strength down low, Thiero can become an impact player alongside Trae and the Hawks’ growing core. 

27. Golden State Warriors (@NoahButlerLJ) - Nolan Traore

The Warriors set themselves up for a post-Steph Curry future with France's speedy guard Nolan Traore to pair alongside Brandin Podziemski. Traore adds slick defense and quick playmaking to a Golden State team in need of pace to fill the non-Curry minutes.

28. Boston Celtics (@EamonCassels) - Danny Wolf

Michigan’s Danny Wolf is a unique center with an intriguing blend of playmaking, shot-creation, ball-handling, floor spacing, and rebounding. With the uncertain futures of Al Horford and Luke Kornet, drafting a versatile big man like Wolf is logical.

🚨 TRADE ALERT 🚨 The Toronto Raptors are trading RJ Barrett, Jonathan Mogbo, pick No. 29, a 2027 unprotected first, and a 2028 pick swap for Walker Kessler, Collin Sexton, and picks No. 43 and 53.

29. Utah Jazz (@DeanSimonNBA) - Drake Powell

Drake Powell displayed plenty of upside after his freshman season with North Carolina, and the Jazz figure that his all-around skillset on both ends of the floor and athleticism could serve them well. Powell’s three-point shooting and defensive intangibles may make him a valuable commodity if he develops a stronger handle at the next level.

🚨 TRADE ALERT 🚨 The Los Angeles Clippers are trading Drew Eubanks and the No. 30 pick (via OKC) to the Suns for Nick Richards.

30. Phoenix Suns (@jacob_seliga) - Jamir Watkins

With Jamir Watkins still on the board, the Suns take a swing on a defender that showed out at the NBA combine. Standing at 6’5” and with a 7-foot wingspan, Watkins is the prototypical wing defender the Suns need to suffocate teams. A lineup of IQ-Watkins-Dunn-Essengue-Poeltl is the new death lineup that can squeeze the life out of teams that aren’t ready for it.
