Georgetown freshman Thomas Sorber is gaining momentum as a potential first-round pick in the 2025 NBA Draft, with multiple teams targeting him in the late lottery and mid-first-round range.
According to Adam Zagoria of NJ Advance Media, the 6-foot-10 big man has drawn interest from the Atlanta Hawks (Nos. 13 and 22), San Antonio Spurs (No. 14), Minnesota Timberwolves (No. 17), and Brooklyn Nets (Nos. 19, 26, and 27).
Sorber averaged 14.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.0 blocks, and 2.4 assists per game in his freshman season while shooting 53.2% from the field over 24 contests.
His physicality in the paint, defensive instincts, and rebounding presence have made him an appealing target for teams seeking interior depth and rim protection.
Atlanta holds two first-round selections, including the last lottery pick via Sacramento and another from the Lakers. The Hawks could use one of those to bolster their frontcourt following a 40-42 campaign that ended in a first-round exit.
San Antonio owns the 14th pick after acquiring it from Atlanta. The Spurs already possess the No. 2 overall selection and may look to add another frontcourt piece to complement Victor Wembanyama.
Minnesota, coming off a 49-win season and holding the No. 17 pick through a complex trade route, is also monitoring Sorber. With the team’s core built around defense, Sorber’s skillset may align with the Timberwolves’ identity.
Brooklyn is another franchise showing interest, with three first-round picks—two of them acquired via previous trades. The Nets, who finished 26-56, could benefit from adding a versatile big as they look to rebuild around youth.
Sorber’s production stood out in a challenging season for Georgetown. His shot-blocking and rebounding numbers placed him among the Big East’s most impactful freshmen.
Though not a perimeter threat (16.2% from three), his footwork, soft hands, and ability to finish through contact make him a valuable low-post scorer.
As front offices finalize draft boards ahead of the June 25 event, Sorber’s rising stock places him firmly in the conversation for teams picking in the teens and early 20s.
With four interested teams holding five picks between Nos. 13 and 22, the former Hoya is expected to hear his name called on day one of the draft.
