The 2025 NBA Draft tips off Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET. Regarded as one of the most talented lotteries in recent years, this year's selection process features numerous former 247Sports five-star recruits alongside several prospects who outplayed their recruiting rankings during the 2024-25 college basketball season.
Duke is the clear winner of the draft process. Three of the Blue Devils' four five-star signees from their top-ranked 2024 recruiting class landed in the top 10 of CBS Sports' final big board. Cooper Flagg is the consensus favorite to be selected No. 1 overall, marking Duke's third top draft pick in seven years, more than any other program.
247Sports' top six recruits from the 2024 class secured spots in the top 10 of CBS Sports' final big board. Former top-10 recruits Jalil Bethea (No. 7), Ian Jackson (No. 8) and Jayden Quaintance (No. 9) transferred programs this offseason, while Liam McNeeley (No. 10) is ranked No. 17 on the big board.
