It's going to be a big night for Duke basketball at the 2025 NBA Draft.

Cooper Flagg is expected to become the sixth No. 1 pick in school history and third since 2019. 

There are 102 NBA players all-time who went to Duke, according to Pro Basketball Reference, including 23 active players this past season. 

But even though the Blue Devils have a storied college basketball history, and enjoyed unprecedented success (and five national championships) under former coach Mike Krzyzewski, ex-players' success in the pros has often been unpredictable.

With that in mind, USA TODAY Sports took a stab at subjectively ranking the best Duke players to play in the NBA based on their accomplishments, statistics and longevity at the link in our bio.
