The Kacper Sobieski2024 NBA draft just ended Thursday, but it's never too early to start thinking about the next wave of basketball stars set to join the league.

Although some viewed the 2024 NBA draft class as weak, the same cannot be said about the 2025 draft. Cooper Flagg (Duke) and Airious "Ace" Bailey (Rutgers) are some of the big names that have the potential to be selected atop the draft. Or will the No. 1 overall pick of the 2025 NBA draft be an international player for the 16th time in history? (We're looking at you, Nolan Traore of France.)

A French player has been drafted with the No. 1 overall pick in consecutive years —  Zaccharie Risacher (Atlanta Hawks, 2024) and Victor Wembanyama (San Antonio Spurs, 2023). At least two international players have been drafted in the top 10 every year since 2013.
