NBA All-Star Weekend has now come and gone, meaning we’ve officially entered the final stretch of the season. Meanwhile, college programs are deep in conference play with just a few weeks to make their case for an NCAA Tournament Bid. The 2025 NBA Draft is just over four months away, so teams around the league continue scouting and refining their boards.
Following what was considered a group of prospects with less upside in the 2024 NBA Draft, the group of players projected to be available in the 2025 NBA Draft is one of the best in recent years. This class features Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper at the top, but there are several other players who could be needle-movers for an NBA franchise if brought into the right system.
