BREAKING: Duke Dominates 2025 NBA Draft Outlook with 2 of the Top 3 Projected Picks
Duke basketball’s reign as the gold standard of NBA talent development has once again been confirmed. In the latest 2025 NBA Draft projections, two Blue Devils are expected to be selected in the top three—cementing the program’s continued dominance on both the college hardwood and the professional pipeline.
Cooper Flagg, the 6’9” phenom and National Player of the Year, headlines the list as the projected No. 1 overall pick. Flagg’s meteoric rise from high school sensation to Duke legend has captivated fans and scouts alike. Known for his elite versatility, defensive instincts, and offensive IQ, Flagg led Duke to a Final Four appearance in his freshman season while raking in a staggering $28 million in NIL deals.
Joining Flagg in the top three is Jared McCain, Duke’s sharpshooting guard whose stock has skyrocketed throughout the season. McCain averaged over 18 points per game, shot above 42% from three, and became a fan favorite for his leadership and clutch performances. His combination of skill, personality, and poise under pressure has NBA general managers salivating.
The Blue Devils are no strangers to draft night glory, but having two of the top three projected picks in a single draft cycle is rarefied air—even for Duke. Head coach Jon Scheyer continues to uphold the high bar set by Coach K, proving that Durham remains one of the premier destinations for NBA-bound talent.
As draft night approaches, all eyes will be on these Blue Devils to see if they can make history—again.
