For Duke Basketball fans, there was a lot to celebrate on Wednesday night.
The "generational prospect" Cooper Flagg went to the Dallas Maverick as the top overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. Three picks later, Kon Knueppel was taken by the Charlotte Hornets at No. 4 and will stay in the Tar Heel State.
The best scorer in this year's draft class averaged 14.4 points and four rebounds per game on nearly 48 percent shooting from the field and 40.6 percent beyond the arc last season.
Being the fourth overall pick comes with a projected four-year deal worth $45.
