Ranking 20 NBA Draft prospects to watch during 2025 March Madness

Ranking 20 NBA Draft prospects to watch during 2025 March Madness

Before the 2025 NBA Draft, plenty of prospects will have an opportunity to showcase their game on the biggest scouting stages during March Madness.

Of course, the biggest name to know is Duke freshman Coper Flagg. While he is currently injured, he is arguably the best overall player in college basketball and expected to turn pro after this season. Flagg has multiple teammates (including Kon Knueppel and Khaman Maluach) expected to join him in the NBA next season.

As always, there are some notable prospects who did not make the tournament (including Rutgers teammates Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey as well as South Carolina’s Collin Murray-Boyles, Saint Joseph’s Rasheer Fleming, and UAB’s Yaxel Lendeborg).

But here are a few of the top names to know who did make the Big Dance. Note that the ranking is determined by Rookie Scale’s Consensus Big Board.
