The Duke Blue Devils basketball program produced some of the most highly-touted prospects in this year's 2025 NBA draft class.

Reigning National Player of the Year Cooper Flagg is expected to go No. 1 overall to the Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday night, and his Duke teammate Kon Knueppel won't be far behind.

Knueppel is widely considered a top-5 prospect in the upcoming selection process.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Duke basketball program took to social media with a strong message regarding their one-and-done sharpshooter.

"Best shooter in the draft & he does everything well. K2 is an easy early pick," the team wrote on X.

Knueppel, the ACC Tournament MVP, averaged 14.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game in his freshman season with the Blue Devils. The 19-year-old shooting guard connected on 47.9% of his shots from the field and 40.6% of his attempts from behind the 3-point arc.

"Loved having Kon in our program," Duke coach Jon Scheyer said after Knueppel declared for the draft. "So proud of him and what he did this season. He's a guy that is about competition. He never shied away from the competitive plays that have to be made in order to win at a high level. As a freshman, Kon understood that. He played both sides of the ball. He had big scoring games... I loved the growth that he made and can't wait to see what he's going to do at the next level, with a long, successful NBA career."

The 2025 NBA draft will begin at 8 p.m. ET on Wednesday.
