While much of the attention leading up to this year’s NBA draft is centered around Cooper Flagg—widely expected to be selected No. 1 overall by the Dallas Mavericks—there are several other notable prospects with immense potential.

Knueppel was projected as the No. 10 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft by Bleacher Report's Jonathan Wasserman in his latest mock draft. He possesses a 6-foot-6, 217-pound frame and was named NCAA All-Region, All-ACC and was the MVP of the ACC Conference Tournament.

As things stand now, Knueppel is projected to fall just outside of the top five. But if this prediction comes to fruition, he could go to the Dallas Mavericks, San Antonio Spurs, Philadelphia 76ers, Charlotte Hornets, or Utah Jazz.
