The number of projected NBA-ready prospects on the 2024-25 Duke basketball roster is off the charts.
Say that five Duke basketball talents do come off the board in the first round of next summer's NBA Draft. That feat would break the program record of four, set by the 1999 Blue Devil quartet of Elton Brand, Trajan Langdon, Corey Maggette, and Will Avery, and matched in 2022 by Paolo Banchero, Mark Williams, AJ Griffin, and Wendell Moore Jr.
Finkelstein and Branham then list Duke basketball freshman big man Khaman Maluach at No. 5, sophomore guard Caleb Foster at No. 14, and freshman wing Isaiah Evans at No. 16. Finally, freshman wing Kon Knueppel sneaks into their first-round-only mock draft at No. 30. The inclusion of Evans, Knueppel, and even Foster may come as a surprise to some, as not everyone forecasts them among the Blue Devils' likely early departures next year.Matt Giles is the editor and publisher of FanNation's Blue Devil Country and All Tar Heels, covering the Duke Blue Devils and UNC Tar Heels on SI.com.
