The Arizona freshman averaged single-digit scoring in his lone college season, but is receiving increasing buzz around his size, versatility and shooting ability.

CHICAGO — Danny Wolf was at last year’s NBA draft combine — sort of. He was meeting with Michigan strength coach Matt Aldred in the weight room on the fourth floor of the Marriott Marquis Chicago, the same hotel where combine participants do interviews with media and NBA teams, adjacent to the arena where they take the court.

All but certain to be the No. 1 pick, Montverde Academy alum Cooper Flagg wowed observers as a Duke freshman with his poise, confidence and ability to shoot from anywhere on the court.

With the draft order now set for the top 14 picks, the NBA turned its attention toward the court at Wintrust Arena on Tuesday to begin analyzing the measurements and skill sets of the 2025 prospects.

Both Tre Johnson and Kon Knueppel confirmed to assembled media members that they met with the Hornets at the combine. The pair of prospects are deadeye long range shooters who would change the face of Charlotte's offense with their gravity and shot making.

Dallas, somehow, won the No. 1 pick. What went on in the lottery room? And what were people talking about before and after?

NBA Draft Lottery results sparked strong reactions. Kevin Durant is among those to chime in after a few teams with some of the worst win-loss records fell outside the top three.
