With the 2025 NBA Draft on the horizon, attention now turns to the upcoming NBA Draft Combine, which will showcase 75 of the most promising young prospects in the world.
Scheduled to take place from May 11 to May 18 in Chicago, the combine will unfold across two venues: Wintrust Arena and the Marriott Marquis.

This comprehensive assessment can drastically affect a player’s draft stock-either propelling them higher on the draft board or raising red flags that lead to a slide.
Cooper Flagg and other headliners expected to draw the spotlight
Among the group of elite talent, Cooper Flagg, the projected No. 1 overall pick out of Duke, will be one of the most closely watched prospects in Chicago. Flagg has built a reputation as an elite two-way player with top-tier instincts, size, and versatility.
