2025 NBA Community Mock Draft + Our 100th Post on Substack!
This week, we teamed up with a massive group of some of the best creators in the NBA fantasy/draft communities and put together a mock draft for the 2025 NBA Draft. Check out how we did!
Hello, everyone! Hope everyone's been doing well and getting ready for an exciting next few days. It's always crazy to go from the NBA Finals right on over to the NBA Draft, but in this case, it's not even 72 hours from Game 7 to Cooper Flagg officially becoming a Dallas Maverick.
So, given how close we are and seeing everyone buckle down on our draft content, I decided to get a big group together of some of my favorite creators and people involved in the NBA fantasy, dynasty, and draft spaces and, using 24 different perspectives, put together a comprehensive 2-round mock draft. Each of us drafted for our selected teams and made decisions of who to take based on our best assessments of needs, best talents on the board, and what we predict will happen. Overall, I think we all crushed.
Without further ado, here is the entire 2025 Community Mock Draft, complete with all 59 picks, a comprehensive list of all our GMs, and their teams they're selecting for. You can find it exclusively on our website here. You can also see it posted below. As a reminder, we will continue to post our content both here on Substack and our new website. As we begin transferring articles en masse, you can also find our full content library in both places soon!
Shout-out to all of these guys and their willingness to participate. If you don't already follow them, please be sure to do so. You can find the links to their Twitter/X accounts in the highlighted link columns with their handles.
Also, if you want to see a more extensive breakdown of each pick, our guy Noah Rubin, host of the Young Man Squad Fantasy Basketball Podcast, covered our 1st round. Be sure to check that out below and follow Noah for more fantastic fantasy and dynasty basketball content. Spoiler alert: we'll be on there early next week before the 2025 NBA Draft!
Enjoy!
Finally, as mentioned in the title, we are proud to announce that this article will mark our 100th article published to Substack. We’ve been proud to call Substack our first home for long-form content since we started all of this back in February 2023, and even as we continue to grow this operation, we’re still excited about creating nuanced, engaging, and wholly unique content you can’t find anywhere else.
What started as a small, humble hobby as an outlet for creativity and engaging with our sports communities has grown into something I don’t think either of us could’ve imagined. In just over two years since we started, we grew to an audience of over 2,200 total followers across all platforms. To know there are this many of you who deeply care about basketball and, by extension, our work and our love for this beautiful sport, is something we will never take for granted. We’re truly appreciative of everyone who has come along for this ride, especially those of you here since Day 1. We’ve seen this fantasy basketball community grow immensely and we hope to continue playing a role in that. We have some lofty goals to come for this year, and we intend to deliver on a lot in these next 6 months. Buckle up now, and we hope you enjoy this ride with this.
Thank you again for reading our work these last 2 years, and we’re excited for many more to come.
