The Orlando Magic are projected to draft Michigan State guard Jase Richardson and Georgetown center Thomas Sorber in the first round of the NBA Draft.

The Athletic's Sam Vecenie published his latest 2025 NBA mock draft on May 1. This happened after the draft prospect entry list was published. The Thunder could have several picks ranging from the No. 7 spot to late in the second round. It'll all depend on how the lottery shakes out.
