Top 10 2025 NBA Draft prospects in the NCAA Tournament

1. Cooper Flagg, F, Duke

Flagg injured his ankle in the ACC tournament but Duke head coach Jon Scheyer believes he could play as early as the opening round of the Big Dance as the Blue Devils seek their first national championship in a decade. Flagg has long been expected to be taken first overall in the 2025 NBA Draft, and what will likely be his lone season at Duke has further cemented that. The 6-foot-9, 205-pound freshman is averaging 18.9 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.1 assists, shooting 48.8% from the field and 36.8% from 3-point range. Flagg also makes his presence felt defensively, averaging 1.5 steals and 1.3 blocks. The likely national player of the year is a versatile forward who has good size and is extremely athletic. That makes him a high-level prospect with unlimited upside in the NBA following his time with the Blue Devils.
