2025 NBA draft grades: Winners, losers for all 30 teams

My team grades for the 2025 NBA draft, completed Thursday night, are the only ones you'll read that aren't concerned with results.

After the teams call in their picks, factors outside their control -- and even perhaps outside the player's control, particularly health -- will determine the results. No team, not even the Brooklyn Nets with their five first-round picks, drafts enough players in one year for that to even out.

Keeping that in mind, we're evaluating picks based solely on the information available to us at the time they were made in terms of value and fit.
