2025 NBA Draft BIG Board V.1
Draft Season has returned. The No Ceilings crew is back with their first Composite 2025 NBA Draft Big Board installment.
IS THIS HEAVEN? NO. IT’S DRAFT SEASON
Well, it’s about THAT time!
The 2024-25 NCAA season is underway, bringing plenty of excitement into the world of hoop fans. With basketball regular seasons officially back in action all over the globe, it means that Draft Season is full speed ahead.
The 2025 NBA Draft class is shaping up to be a special one. You’ve heard the buzz coming into the year and it hasn’t taken long to see the talent on full display. After a year when so many questioned the “firepower” with an incoming crop of talent, the 2025 class looks ready to hit like a hammer. NBA fans will be watching closely, as there looks to be a bundle of potential for this class to help organizations take that next step forward.
If you’ve been part of the No Ceilings family over the years, we cannot overstate how much your support has meant to us. This is shaping up to be our biggest year yet, and we cannot do it without the support of the fans.
If this is your first time here (welcome), let us break it down for you.
The entire No Ceilings crew is given an assignment. Each member of our team must submit their individual BIG Board Rankings. From there, we average out the rankings to create ONE COMPOSITE BIG Board.
As always, it’s important to remind everyone that there’s going to be A LOT of movement in the upcoming months. Expect things to start taking shape in the second, and even third, installments. Consider this our team dipping our toes in the water, before throwing down a big cannonball in the deep end.
In recent memory, we’ve seen players like Keegan Murray, Jordan Hawkins, and Dalton Knecht experience rapid climbs up the rankings to start the year. It’s early to jump to conclusions…but it’s NEVER too early to get excited about the Draft.
Here are some quick hitters to point out before diving in.
Measurements are listed from team websites. The combine will be the judge.
No Ceilings+ subscribers get access to ALL of our Personal Big Board Rankings. You’ll be able to see our Boards & live updates throughout the year. That includes access to our Private Discord Channel, as well as the No Ceilings 2025 Preseason NBA Draft Guide.
