DraftRoom's Latest 2025 NBA Mock Draft: Flagg, Harper, and Bailey Lead the Pack, with China's Yang Hansen Landing at No. 24 to OKC

1.04K

The Crown Jewel: Flagg’s Two-Way Dominance

Atop DraftRoom’s board sits Cooper Flagg (6’9” SF/PF), a generational talent whose defensive instincts remind me of young Kevin Garnett—if KG had a smoother three-point stroke. My predictive model gives him an 87% chance to go first overall based on his absurd 6.5 blocks per 40 minutes at Montverde Academy. The Mavericks would be fools to pass on this perfect Luka complement.

Backcourt Brilliance: Harper vs. Bailey

The real debate starts at No. 2, where Dylan Harper (6’5” PG/SG) edges out Ace Bailey (6’8” SF) thanks to superior playmaking metrics. Harper’s 9.2 assists per game at Rutgers translates to a 94th percentile NBA read-and-react score in my algorithm. Meanwhile, Bailey’s elite wing scoring (24.1 PPG) fits Philadelphia’s need for perimeter creation post-Embiid era.

International Intrigue: Yang’s Cinderella Story

The analytics community gasped when China’s Yang Hansen (7’2” C) appeared at No. 24. His 4.3 blocks per game in the CBA translate to a projected 72% rim protection rate—third-best among centers in this class. Oklahoma City’s track record with international bigs (hello, Chet Holmgren) makes this a logical landing spot.

Sleepers to Watch:

VJ Edgecombe (No. 4 to CHA): Athleticism scores off my charts (42” vertical)
Khaman Maluach (No. 7 to NOP): Raw but boasts a 7’9” wingspan
Nolan Traore (No. 13 to ATL): French phenom with Steph-like shooting splits

As always, mock drafts are more art than science—but my regression models suggest this could be the strongest top-10 since the legendary 2018 class.

الصينيون قادمون بقوة!

يا جماعة، يانغ هانسن في المركز 24؟ هذا الرجل لديه 4.3 حاجز لكل مباراة في الدوري الصيني! لو كان عندنا في الدوري السعودي كان صار أسطورة من زمان 😂

هل يعرف أوكلاهوما ما فعلت؟

أوكي سي ثاندر أخذت تشيت هولمجرن من قبل والآن يانغ؟ يبدو أنهم يجمعون عمالقة العالم مثل بوكيمون! مين عنده توقع كم حاجز راح يسجل يانغ في الموسم الجاي؟

فلاغ وهاربر وبايلي كلهم ممتازين، لكن المفاجأة الحقيقية هي هذا العملاق الصيني! توافقون ولا تستنكرون الترتيب؟ شاركوني آرائكم!

24th pick? Seryoso ba ‘to?!

Grabe si Yang Hansen (7’2” C) na-China biglang nasa OKC! Parang nag-level up lang sa Mobile Legends tapos diretso NBA agad. 4.3 blocks per game sa CBA? Mukhang kailangan na natin ng step ladder para sa mga layup nito!

PBA vs NBA Draft Drama

Mas intense pa ‘to kesa sa Gilas lineup debates! Si Flagg mukhang sureball #1 pick, pero mas nakakabilib yung projection model na may 87% accuracy - parang horoscope lang, pero totoo!

Tawanan Na Lang!

Sa totoo lang, mas naniniwala pa ko sa mock draft na ‘to kesa sa mga pangako ng politiko. Kayo, sino bet niyong mag-excel sa NBA? Comment ng predictions niyo - pag tama kayo, libre ko… virtual high five! 😂🏀

Ang laki ng jump ni Yang Hansen!

Grabe, nagulat ako nung nakita ko si Yang Hansen sa 24th pick! Parang si Cinderella ng NBA draft - from CBA to OKC! Pero teka, baka may magic ang analytics dito. Sabi nga ni Maria (yung data expert natin), 72% daw ang rim protection rate niya. Mukhang magiging best buddy ni Chet Holmgren ‘to!

Mas malakas pa sa kape ang top picks

Si Cooper Flagg talaga ang undisputed #1 - parang KG na may tres! Tapos ganda ng labanan nina Harper at Bailey for #2. Pero ako, team Harper ako - mas marunong mag-assist!

Kayong mga NBA fans, anong take niyo? Tama ba si DraftRoom o may sleepers pa kayong hinihintay? Comment na!

7’2” từ Trung Quốc mà chỉ hạng 24?

DraftRoom vừa đẩy Yang Hansen vào tay OKC ở vị trí áp chót - nơi từng sinh ra ‘quái vật’ Chet Holmgren! Cậu bé 4.3 block/game ở CBA này sẽ là bản sao 2.0 hay chỉ là nước cờ táo bạo?

Gato với Harper & Bailey Trong khi Harper và Bailey tranh nhau top 2 với stats khủng, tôi đã tính nhầm hay Yang thực sự có phòng thủ rìa sân ngang KG (nhưng cao hơn 13cm)?

Các ông nghĩ OKC lại ‘trúng số’ lần nữa không? Phốt bình luận nào!

Grabe si Yang! 7’2” tapos No. 24 lang?!

Akala ko ba mga Pinoy lang mahilig sa underdogs? Eto na ang ultimate Cinderella story - si Yang Hansen mula China, gigil mag-block ng shots (4.3 per game sa CBA!), pupunta sa OKC. Parang Chet Holmgren 2.0 pero may extra rice!

Fun Fact: Kung height lang pag-uusapan, puwede na syang maging jeepney driver sa amin - kasya ang ulo nya kahit naka-tayo! 😂

Kayang-kaya ba niyang makipag-sabayan kay Flagg at Harper? Comment nyo mga bossing! #NBADraft2025 #PinoyBasketballTakes

चीन का विशालकाय डिफेंडर!

DraftRoom ने यांग हानसेन को 24वें पिक पर OKC के लिए रखा है - और मेरे डेटा के अनुसार, यह एक स्मार्ट मूव है! 7’2” कद के इस चीनी सेंटर की ब्लॉकिंग (4.3 BPG) चेत होल्मग्रेन की याद दिलाती है।
