Wintrust Arena in Chicago hosted the 2025 NBA Draft Combine, spotlighting prospects ahead of the June 25-26 draft in Brooklyn. Shooting drills—featuring spot-up attempts, off-the-dribble jumpers, and movement shooting—played a key role in assessing offensive upside.

The 6’6 wing from Duke has been skyrocketing up NBA Draft big boards. Howard played just six games last season at Washington State before suffering a season-ending shoulder injury, but his skills and athleticism are being shown off during various NBA combine tests.

The Arizona freshman averaged single-digit scoring in his lone college season, but is receiving buzz around his size, versatility and shooting ability.

All but certain to be the No. 1 pick, Montverde Academy alum Cooper Flagg wowed observers as a Duke freshman with his poise, confidence and ability to shoot from anywhere on the court.

Duke forward Kon Knueppel failed to participate in athletic testing or shooting drills of the NBA draft combine due to a sprained ankle, his agent told ESPN on Wednesday.

The college basketball legend spoke about Flagg’s skill set a day after the Dallas Mavericks won the NBA draft lottery, setting themselves up to select Flagg with the top pick in June. Krzyzewski recalled seeing Flagg play at Montverde Academy as a high schooler.

Luck was not in the Chicago Bulls’ favor Monday night. The Bulls didn’t improve their positioning in the NBA draft lottery at McCormick Place and will have the No. 12 pick in the first round. The Dallas Mavericks won the No.

Each NBA Draft promises to offer something different, and the 2026 NBA Draft is already shaping up to be one of the most exciting in recent memory. There has never been this much debate about who will be the No.
