The 2024-25 Duke Blue Devils starting five joined an elite group at this year's NBA draft when all five players were selected within the first two rounds, via college basketball analyst Seth Davis.
Three of the five starters from last season were taken in the top 10. Notably, Cooper Flagg was picked No. 1 by the Dallas Mavericks. Kon Knueppel was drafted No. 4 by the Charlotte Hornets, so he won't be straying far from Durham. The Phoenix Suns received Khaman Maluach at No. 10 through a trade with the Houston Rockets.
