As the 2025 NBA Draft fades into memory, the future is already blazing bright. In this deep and dynamic class, Darryn Peterson takes the top spot with his elite scoring IQ and poise—followed by Cameron Boozer’s polished All-Star upside and AJ Dybantsa’s ceiling-defying wingspan.

Whether you’re a fan or a scout, this is your front-row seat to the next wave.
