2025 1st Pick Favorites
Cooper Flagg (Duke Blue Devils): It's been no secret that multiple NBA franchises have been trying to align themselves for the best chance to land Cooper Flagg in the draft, but even with those efforts, it was the Dallas Mavericks who won the NBA Draft Lottery. The number one recruit in his class has been a sensation for quite a few years, and after deciding to attend Duke this season, he lived up to those expectations.
Flagg has been labeled as an effortless scorer, and NBA players got a glimpse of that when Flagg showed up at Team USA's Olympic training camp and made multiple jaw-dropping plays. That scoring ability and his ability to impact the game in other ways were on full display all year, as Flagg averaged 18.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.4 steals per game on the way to leading Duke to the Final Four.
Dylan Harper (Rutgers Scarlet Knights): Harper is one-half of the top-ranked prospect duo that attended Rutgers this season. While the Scarlet Knights did not have the year many had hoped for or expected, Harper still showed that he is a premier NBA prospect. In 29 games, Harper averaged 19.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 4.0 assists per game while also shooting 48.4% from the field.
Ace Bailey (Rutgers Scarlet Knights): The other half of the top-ranked duo is Bailey, as the 6'10 wing can score from anywhere on the floor and has an innate ability to create his shot. While he may take some ill-advised shots at times, NBA teams view Bailey as an elite-level scoring threat. In his freshman season, Bailey averaged 17.6 points and 7.2 rebounds per game. Not to mention, he also recorded three 30+ point games and seven double-doubles.
