Duke big man Khaman Maluach is jumping to the NBA, where he is a potential top-10 pick after helping the Blue Devils reach the Final Four.

After declaring for the 2025 NBA draft earlier this week, Duke star freshman Cooper Flagg is expected to be the league's next big thing. ESPN's Jonathan Givony and Jeremy Woo released their updated draft big board, and Flagg maintained his position in the No. 1 spot.

James enters the draft process as a potential second-round selection, currently ranked inside ESPN’s top-60 prospects. His value lies not in star potential but in specialization: perimeter shooting, defensive versatility, and team-first decision-making.
