Different NBA front offices have different processes when it comes to the NBA Draft, but this is the time of year when more and more of them are starting to develop some type of order on their draft board.

Jakucionis, who previously played for Barcelona in Spain, is one of the best young guards in college basketball. He is averaging 16.4 points as well as 5.6 rebounds, and 5.4 assists per game while shooting 41.4 percent on 3-pointers for Illinois.

Cooper Flagg is the projected No. 1 pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. He won't get to pick his destination at the next level. But, what if he could?

The NBA had a premonition Cooper Flagg was bound for future superstardom long before he put on a Duke jersey. It was the NBA’s interest that convinced Flagg to reclassify, essentially skipping his senior year of high school to enroll in college at just 17 years old.
