Wednesday was a monumental night for many prospects in the NBA draft, but two players who stole the spotlight in the top four were former Duke stars Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel. Flagg was selected No.

The drama was non-existent in Wednesday’s first round of the 2025 NBA Draft. Cooper Flagg was presumed to be the pick all along for the Dallas Mavericks at No. 1 overall, making the official announcement from NBA commissioner Adam Silver all but a formality.

With the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft in the books, sportsbooks have already set odds for who will be named the NBA's top rookie in 2025-26.
