- Ranking 20 NBA Draft prospects to watch during 2025 March Madness
Before the 2025 NBA Draft, plenty of prospects will have an opportunity to showcase their game on the biggest scouting stages during March Madness.
Of course, the biggest name to know is Duke freshman Coper Flagg. While he is currently injured , he is arguably the best overall player in college basketball and expected to turn pro after this season. Flagg has multiple teammates (including Kon Knueppel and Khaman Maluach ) expected to join him in the NBA next season.
