The top draft sites have finalized their draft boards for for 2025 NBA Draft, and for the sixth consecutive year, Hoops Prospects has combined most of the major draft sites to gain a consensus understanding of the value of the current prospects. This is to help evaluate where each player will go in terms of draft slot, and down the road, we can look back and analyze which media source was the most accurate in 2024.
The scoring/ranking system for these rankings is rather simple. For each pick, a prospect receives points equal to 201 minus the prospect’s ranking. So, for example, if someone ranked Rutgers guard Dylan Harper second, he’d receive 199 points from that source. If someone ranked Harper at No. 10, he’d receive 191 points. If a player was unranked by a particular source, the player would receive zero points from that source.
