Gov. Pritzker set to announce run for third term amid presidential speculation ...Middle East

New talent is coming to the NBA.

The 2025 draft is introducing a wide range of players, with Duke prospect Cooper Flagg the most coveted player of this class, going first overall to the Dallas Mavericks.

Flagg was joined by fellow Blue Devil Kon Knueppel in the top five after the Charlotte Hornets took the wing at No. 4 overall. Rutgers also saw two prospects go in the first five, as the San Antonio Spurs took combo guard Dylan Harper at No. 2 while the Utah Jazz picked wing Ace Bailey at No. 5.

In between at No. 3 overall was the Philadelphia 76ers, who added more guard depth alongside Tyrese Maxey with Baylor’s V.J. Edgecombe.

The hometown Brooklyn Nets hoarded first-round picks this year as they look to get back into the playoff mix with a proper core. They took a ball-handling forward in the lottery at No. 8 before adding more playmakers and a wing later in the round.

Here’s how the first round played out at the Barclays Center in New York:
