Aside from a few big surprises Wednesday -- and there were indeed a few surprises (hello, Yang Hansen at No. 16?!)-- the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft largely went off as expected. Twenty-seven of the top 30 prospects on the CBS Sports Big Board were selected in Round 1 overall and 29 of the 30 drafted players were ranked inside the top 33.

St. Joseph's junior Rasheer Fleming, Stanford senior Maxime Raynaud, and fifth-year seniors in Creighton's Ryan Kalkbrenner and Auburn's Johni Broome are among those waiting to hear their name called entering the second round.
