The 2025 NBA Draft is now in its second round, following a first round that saw Cooper Flagg selected first overall by the Dallas Mavericks. Notable picks included Duke teammates Kon Knueppel and Khaman Maluach, who also made the top 10. As the draft progresses, teams are looking to capitalize on the potential of second-round players, where stars like Nikola Jokic and Draymond Green have emerged in the past.

Several talented players remain available, including guards Chaz Lanier from Tennessee, who averaged 18 points per game, and Adou Thiero from Arkansas, whose versatile playstyle has caught attention. Among forwards, Rasheer Fleming from Saint Joseph's and Noah Penda from Le Mans Sarthe offer promising skills, while centers Maxime Raynaud from Stanford and Ryan Kalkbrenner from Creighton bring size and scoring ability to the table. As teams strategize their picks, these players could play pivotal roles in shaping the success of future franchises.
