Top 2025 NBA Draft Picks Harper, Edgecombe Reveal All-Time Starting Fives

News summary

The 2025 NBA offseason features significant developments including the Brooklyn Nets' roster considerations and the NBA draft outcomes. ESPN projects the Nets' 2025-26 depth chart with Cam Thomas expected to start at shooting guard, while Keon Johnson’s role is debated due to the influx of guards and Drew Timme’s summer league performance potentially impacting the starting lineup. The Dallas Mavericks secured the first overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, selecting Cooper Flagg from Duke, with other notable top picks including Dylan Harper to the Spurs and V.J. Edgecombe to the 76ers. Harper and Edgecombe have made strong impressions during the Summer League, not only through their play but also by revealing their all-time NBA starting fives, which sparked conversations about player versatility and generational influences. Both rookies selected Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Shaquille O’Neal for their lineups but diverged on other choices, with Harper emphasizing LeBron’s versatility by placing him at point guard and Edgecombe opting for more traditional positions. Their picks notably exclude legends like Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Wilt Chamberlain, reflecting a recency bias common among young players.
