The first domino of Duke’s likley offseason overhaul fell on Wednesday when star freshman Kon Knueppel officially declared for the 2025 NBA Draft. Knueppel is the first Blue Devils player to announce his draft decision.
Duke has yet to make an addition via the transfer portal, but that is expected to change shortly. All eyes now turn to Cooper Flagg and Khaman Maluach to declare for the 2025 NBA Draft before the April 26 deadline. Flagg is the odds-on favorite to become the No. 1 overall pick this summer.

Tulane transfer Sion James has exhausted his eligibility, and veteran guard Tyrese Proctor has a decision to make about returning to school for another season or turning pro.
