Updated June 19, 2025
The NBA has extended invitations to five additional players to attend the 2025 NBA draft in new York City and sit in the “green room,” sources told ESPN. They will join 19 other top prospects who were invited last week.
The latest invitees are Joan Beringer, Nique Clifford, Cedric Coward, Walter Clayton and Danny wolf. They join Cooper Flagg, Dylan Harper, Ace Bailey, VJ Edgecombe, Tre Johnson, Khaman Maluach, Jeremiah Fears, Kon Knueppel, Kasparas Jakucionis, Egor Demin, Carter Bryant, derik Queen, Asa Newell, Noa Essengue, Collin Murray-boyles, Thomas Sorber, Liam McNeeley, Nolan Traore and Will Riley.
The green room is a designated area near the draft podium where players, their families and agents await the announcement of draft selections by Commissioner adam Silver.
Players are permitted to invite up to six guests to sit at their tables.
The NBA’s process for determining green room invitees involves soliciting input from team presidents and general managers regarding the top 25 players they anticipate being selected in the first round. The goal is to minimize the amount of time players spend waiting on national television.
While receiving an invitation to the green room is generally viewed as a positive indicator of a player’s draft prospects, some players, such as Bol Bol, deyonta Davis, Nic Claxton, Maciej Lampe and Rashard Lewis, have slipped to the second round despite being in the green room.
Last year, Johnny Furphy and Kyle Filipowski, who were among the initial 20 invitees, ultimately fell to the second round.
The NBA draft moved to a two-day format last year.
Jase Richardson and Hugo Gonzalez are projected in the top 25 but did not receive invites.
the first round of the 2025 NBA draft will take place June 25 at Barclays Center in new York City, with the second round following on June 26.
What’s next
The NBA draft is scheduled to take place over two days, with the first round on june 25 and the second round on June 26. It remains to be seen how the invited players’ draft stock will be affected as teams finalize their draft strategies.
