So, the 2025 NBA Draft is creeping up on us, happening on June 25 and 26 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn. I still remember wandering past that place once—such a buzz. Anyway, the whole thing kicks off at 8 PM ET both nights, if you ask me, they probably picked that time so we’re all glued to the screens with our popcorn. It’s the 79th edition, by the way. I feel old just saying that.
Alright, let me ramble a bit about what you should know—’cause getting into all the nitty-gritty can give you a headache sometimes. Especially when you’re just trying to sound like you know what you’re talking about at the bar.
The draft order? Oh boy, here we go:
– Dallas Mavericks top the list. Good move? Maybe. Maybe not.
– The Spurs are second. Who knows what they’re cooking up.
– Philadelphia 76ers? Yep, they got the third spot.
All this makes me think about those random basketball cards I used to collect. Yeah, nostalgia hits hard sometimes.
Switching gears—while we’re at it—did you hear about the whole Pacers trading the 23rd pick? It’s wild. Mojave King is heading to the Pelicans, and I swear trades make my brain do flips.
Anyway, who’s picking after 76ers? Brace yourself, it’s a bit of a rollercoaster:
– Hornets, Jazz, Wizards. Oh my!
– Pelicans snagging up something at 7. Lots of buzz.
– Brooklyn Nets are 8th. Hey, they’re basically partying on home turf.
Okay okay, let’s hit pause on the nonstop list. Fast forward to how you watch this shindig, right? ABC and ESPN have you covered for Round 1. I like flipping channels, but that’s just me.
And don’t forget Round 2. It’s on ESPN and the app. Technology, am I right? Watching drafts on apps feels surreal—like my TV is gonna get jealous.
So where’s this all happening? Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Yep, again. Ever tried getting a decent pizza slice around there? Game-changing.

Phew, that was a mouthful. But hey, it’s only once a year, right? Total basketball madness.
