Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss if too much emotion was shown at the draft last night.
The 2025 NBA Draft featured a strong Duke freshman class and was headlined by Duke forward Cooper Flagg, who was selected No. 1 overall by the Dallas Mavericks. Flagg, a versatile two-way player with elite defensive instincts and offensive polish, was widely seen as the best prospect in the draft. Duke’s Kon Knueppel went 4th to the Charlotte Hornets, bringing efficient shooting and smart wing play. Khaman Maluach went 10th overall in the 2025 NBA Draft to the Phoenix Suns (via Houston). Hia journey—from refugee camps in Uganda to the NBA—has made his rise all the more compelling. Maluach is widely lauded for his rim protection and impressive length—a reported wingspan of 7'5" and standing reach up to 9'8"—making him a true deterrent in the paint. Scouts compare him to defensive stalwarts like Rudy Gobert and Mitchell Robinson.
Many dreams were realized last night and a lot of emotion was shown. A lot of these players knew for months or even years they would be drafted into the NBA. Was too much emotion shown at the draft last night?
