Every team's tier behind Cooper Flagg and Dylan Harper will include VJ Edgecombe. Front offices that value his 100th percentile explosiveness, shotmaking and defensive quickness could slot him at No. 3, particularly if they question Ace Bailey's handle and tunnel vision, Tre Johnson's lack of rim pressure and Jeremiah Fears' shooting.

After months of waiting, the Cooper Flagg sweepstakes will conclude on Monday during the NBA Draft Lottery. The Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards and Charlotte Hornets all have an equal chance (14%) of winning the lottery and changing the direction of their respective franchise for years to come.

The NBA playoffs are into the second round, meaning that 22 teams are on to the offseason. The 2025 NBA Draft features an especially enticing crop of prospects, with potential superstars and perennial All-NBA prospects throughout the lottery.
