7:28pm, 28 June 2025【Basketball】

At 8 a.m. on June 27, the second round draft of the 2025 NBA Draft will continue at the Barclays Center. Can CBA local scoring champion Lin Wei be selected by NBA teams in the second round? In addition, which player the popular balloon teams Lakers, Warriors and Rockets will choose in the second round is also the main focus.

1. Can Lin Wei be selected by NBA teams?

According to the current situation, Lin Wei is unlikely to be selected, and his name has not appeared on the list of major mock drafts. However, just like the surprise of Yang Hansen being selected in the 16th pick in the first round, Lin Wei may still attract attention at the end of the second round.

Lin Wei has previously trained in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Chicago and other places, and participated in the Adidas European Training Camp. He also participated in the Mavericks' trial and ranked second in the shooting test in the trial, and his overall performance was recognized, and the team intends to invite him to the summer league. Is there any team that will use the draw at the end of the second round to choose this CBA local scoring champion? Let's wait and see.

2. The best players in the second round

According to ESPN's evaluation, three players with the first round market were not selected. They may be the best of the remaining players in the second round and are expected to be selected in the early stage of the second round. The three players are St. Joseph's forward Rashiel Fleming, Stanford's center Maxim Renault and French forward Noah Penda.

ESPN is optimistic that these three players will be selected after the start of the second round. Fleming's draft templates are Siakam and Obie Topin; Renault's draft template is Luke Connet; Penda's draft template is Kenridge Williams.

3. Who will the Lakers Warriors Rockets choose?

In the second round draft, the Lakers, Warriors and Rockets each have one sign. The Warriors are the No. 41 pick, the Lakers are the No. 55 pick, and the Rockets are the No. 59 pick. On the latest simulated second-round draft list of ESPN, the players selected by these three teams are as follows - the Warriors are expected to use the No. 41 pick to choose center Roko Zikarski at 24. His draft templates are Mark Eaton and Longley.

The Lakers are expected to use the No. 55 pick to choose center Victor Larkin, 2.11 meters, and his draft template is Horford.
