Overview

• The draft is set for June 25–26 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, with the first round airing on ESPN and ABC and the second on ESPN.
• Duke freshman Cooper Flagg, the Wooden Player of the Year, is projected as the No. 1 pick by Dallas after his 19.2 points, 7.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game at college.
• San Antonio, which improbably secured the No. 2 slot in May’s lottery, is expected to take Rutgers guard Dylan Harper to continue its rebuild.
• Baylor wing V.J. Edgecombe holds the odds for the third pick by Philadelphia, while Rutgers’ Ace Bailey has faced criticism for skipping pre-draft workouts.
• Duke teammates Kon Knueppel and Khaman Maluach loom as lottery options, and several Australians—including Rocco Zikarsky and Alex Toohey—are in contention for second-round selections.
