24 Prospects Receive 2025 NBA Draft Green Room Invites

The NBA has finalized its green room invitations for the 2025 NBA Draft, with a total of 24 prospects invited to attend the first round at Barclays Center. The green room invites are extended to players expected to be first-round picks, determined by team front office votes on top prospects. Among the invitees are top-ranked players Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper, as well as rising talents like Noa Essengue, who has impressed with his professional play in Germany and is projected as a potential top-10 pick. Other notable invitees include Nolan Traore, recently honored as Champions League Best Young Player, and several college standouts such as Liam McNeeley and Collin Murray-Boyles. The draft will continue its two-night format, with the first round on June 25 and the second round on June 26. While receiving a green room invitation generally signals a strong chance to be selected early, there have been rare cases of invitees slipping to the second round in previous years.
