While we&rsquo;re still in the early stages of the college campaigns, some players are already standing out. By this time next year, there will be a new group of NBA players ready to make their mark, and the 2025 draft class looks full of potential.<\/p><p>Here&rsquo;s an early look at the Top 10 NCAA Prospects for the 2025 NBA Draft:<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cooper Flagg (Forward, 6&rsquo;9&Prime;, Duke)<\/h2><p>The race for the No. 1 pick in 2025 is fierce, but Cooper Flagg has put himself in prime position to take the crown. The 18-year-old forward has already been billed as the top pick, and for good reason. He&rsquo;s been nothing short of sensational at Duke, putting up jaw-dropping stats across the board. Last week, he made headlines by <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/who-is-cooper-flagg-all-you-need-to-know-about-duke-freshman-star-who-made-acc-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>scoring 42 points in Duke&rsquo;s win over Notre Dame, setting a new record<\/a>. The stat sheet doesn&rsquo;t lie: Flagg is leading Duke in points, rebounds, assists, steals, blocks, and minutes. He&rsquo;s also the first Duke player since JJ Redick in 2006 to score 40+ points in a game. <\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">ANOTHER ONE <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Cooper_Flagg?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>@Cooper_Flagg<\/a> &#128296;&#128296;&#128296;&#128296;&#128296; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/DRjRW5M21c\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/DRjRW5M21c<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Duke Men&rsquo;s Basketball (@DukeMBB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DukeMBB\/status\/1878146781487497347?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>January 11, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dylan Harper (Guard, 6&rsquo;6&Prime;, Rutgers)<\/h2><p>Right behind Flagg, Dylan Harper is making a compelling case to be the No. 1 pick himself.
