When's the last time we've had a top 4 be as good immediately as the top 4 of the '25 draft?
1st overall: Cooper Flagg to Dallas
21/6.7/4.5, rookie of the year. Incredible rookie season. This guy might be an MVP one day. He was the clear #1 pick for a reason.
2nd overall: Dylan Harper to San Antonio
11.8/3.4/3.9 in the regular season, good for an all rookie first team nod but it's the playoffs that he's really excelled in. 13.6/5.6/2.6 as maybe the third best player on a Finals team. This guy could be All-NBA first team one day and him even getting MVP buzz wouldn't be the most shocking thing in the world.
3rd overall: VJ Edgecombe to Philly
16/5.6/4.2 in the regular season, all rookie first team, 3rd in ROTY. Another guy who could be an all star in the future. Also put up 37 minutes per game for a playoff team that made the second round. Had a 30 piece for Philly in the playoffs as well.
4th overall: Kon Knueppel
18.5/5.3/3.4 in the regular season, all rookie first team, second in a debatable ROTY race, lead the league in 3s, most 3s in a regular season by a rookie. This guy might be the next Klay. Started 80 games for a Hornets team that won 25 more games than they did the year before.
